Again, for that same 2.2

H application, I
PEAK
= 4.6A. Therefore, a 2.2
μ
H inductor with at
least a 5A rating would be desired.
The type of core material to use must also
be determined. For low cost, powdered iron
cores can be used, and they have a gradual
saturation characteristic, but they can cause
ac core loss when the inductor value is low
and ripple current is high. Ferrite cores, on
the other hand, have an abrupt saturation
characteristic and the inductor value drops
sharply when the peak design current is
exceeded. But, ferrites are preferred for
high switching frequencies because they
have low core losses as long as the satura-
tion current is avoided.
Table 1 lists examples of both shielded and
unshielded ferrite core inductors for applica-
tions appropriate for SP6122 applications from
2A to 5A output current. The inductors listed
are both shielded and unshielded, the cus-
tomer can decide what is needed for their
application. For the SP6122 Evaluation Board,
the unshielded ferrite inductor 2.2

H Coilcraft
DO3316P-222 was selected for its cost/per-
formance features.
