the maximum inductor ripple current, which is

usually designed at 30% of the CC charge

current.

With a typical 5V input voltage, 30% inductor

current ripple at the corner point between

inductance is 1.85μH (for a 1.2MHz switching

frequency), and 3.7µH (for a 600kHz

switching frequency).

the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current,

which is approximately 30% of the maximum

system current and η is the efficiency.

In the worst case where the battery voltage is

3V, a 30% inductor current ripple, and a

typical

voltage

the

inductance is 1.8μH (for a 1.2MHz switching

frequency) and 3.6µH (for a 600kHz switching

frequency) when the efficiency is 90%.

For best results, use an inductor with an

inductance of 1.8μH (for a 1.2MHz switching

frequency) and 3.6µH (for a 600kHz switching

frequency) with a DC current rating that is at

least 30% higher than the maximum charge

current for applications. For higher efficiency,

minimize the inductor’s DC resistance.

current drawn from the input and the switching

noise from the device. The input capacitor

impedance at the switching frequency should be

less than the input source impedance to prevent

high-frequency-switching current from passing to

the input. For best results, use ceramic

capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics because

of their low ESR and small temperature

coefficients. For most applications, a 22µF

capacitor will suffice.
