APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO

Inductor Selection

Several inductors that work well with the LT1932 are listed

in Table 1. Many different sizes and shapes are available.

Consult each manufacturer for more detailed information

and for their entire selection of related parts. As core

losses at 1.2MHz are much lower for ferrite cores that for

the cheaper powdered-iron ones, ferrite core inductors

should be used to obtain the best efficiency. Choose an

inductor that can handle at least 0.5A and ensure that the

inductor has a low DCR (copper wire resistance) to mini-

mize I2R power losses. A 4.7

µH or 6.8µH inductor will be

a good choice for most LT1932 designs.

Inductor Efficiency Considerations

Many applications have thickness requirements that re-

strict component heights to 1mm or 2mm. There are 2mm

tall inductors currently available that provide a low DCR

and low core losses that help provide good overall effi-

ciency. Inductors with a height of 1mm (and less) are

becoming more common, and a few companies have

introduced chip inductors that are not only thin, but have

a very small footprint as well. While these smaller induc-

tors will be a necessity in some designs, their smaller size

gives higher DCR and core losses, resulting in lower

efficiencies. Figure 2 shows efficiency for the Typical

Application circuit on the front page of this data sheet, with

several different inductors. The larger devices improve

efficiency by up to 12% over the smaller, thinner ones.

Keep this in mind when choosing an inductor.

The value of inductance also plays an important role in the

overall system efficiency. While a 1

µH inductor will have

a lower DCR and a higher current rating than the 6.8

µH

version of the same part, lower inductance will result in

higher peak currents in the switch, inductor and diode.

Efficiency will suffer if inductance is too small. Figure 3

shows the efficiency of the Typical Application on the front

page of this data sheet, with several different values of the

same type of inductor (Panasonic ELJEA). The smaller

values give an efficiency 3% to 5% lower than the 6.8

µH

value.
