LTC3307A APPLICATIONS INFORMATION In addition, ensure that the saturation current rating A more conservative choice would be to use an inductor (typically labeled ISAT) of the inductor is higher than the with an ISAT rating higher than the maximum current limit maximum expected load current plus half the inductor of the LTC3307A. ripple current: To keep the efficiency high, choose an inductor with 1 I the lowest series resistance (DCR). The core material SAT > I ΔIL (6) LOAD M ( AX ) + 2 should be intended for high frequency applications. where I Table 2 shows recommended inductors from several LOAD(MAX) is the maximum output load current for a given application and ΔI manufacturers. L is the inductor ripple current calculated as: V ⎛ V ⎞ ΔI OUT OUT L = • ⎜1– ⎟ (7) L • fSW ⎝ VIN ⎠ Table 2.
