Hi,

I am designing with Buck boost converter with the following parameters:

Vin: 2.5 - 4.2 V

Vout: 3.3V

Iout Max: 1A

Fsw: 1250Khz (From Dtasheet Page 3)

Mine is a battery powered application.

The inductor design calculation in the datasheet is given below.

I believe the 0.3A is the allowed ripple current.Please correct me if I am wrong.

The datasheet also says the below thing.

When I plug my values in the above equation I am getting L1 = 1.89uH and L2 = 1.62uH.

I have 2 Questions:

  1. May I know where I went wrong.
  2. How they obtained the recommended value of 1.5uH to 4.7uH

Correct. It's unclear why they chose to set ripple current to 0.3A for these equations...

Your calculations correct.

It's likely that this covers all L1 and L2 values for all possible combinations of Vin (1.8-5.5V) and Vout (1.2-5.5V), with 0.3A of ripple and fsw=1.25MHz.

...Why do you call it wrong? Both your values are within the recommended range.

How they decided the range.
Why they took 2.2uH

No need to be accurate. The regulation loop does it's job. Higher inductivity is more safe but higher cost and size
