TPS82084: Inductor size and tollerance.

Part Number: TPS82084
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS82085

I am in the progress of in-designing a couple of TI DCDC buck converters with integrated inductors, but I have not been able to find the size and tolerance of the integrated inductor.

I need the inductor size and tolerance as part of our validation process.

It for the TPS82084 and TPS82085 I would like to know the inductor size/tol. of and preferable the inductor part number if possible.

  • Hi Klaus,

    Thank you for designing with these simple devices.

    The inductance value is written in the block diagram of each D/S.

    It is not clear what is meant by size and tolerance (inductance tolerance or size tolerance?), but this is a standard, off the shelf inductor used.
  • Hi Chris,

    An inductor size of 0.47uH was a little difficult to fine in the datasheet.

    I would also like to know the inductors inductance tolerance. It is properly +/- 20% or 30% (0.47uH +/-20%)

    The inductor part-number was just nice to have, because it would also give me the inductor inductance tolerance.

    Best regards,

    Klaus

  • Thanks for confirming the request.

    We do not specify the inductor part number or tolerance. I'm curious what this would be used for? One of the purposes of using a power module is to have to deal with fewer components in order to simplify the design effort.

    As a standard inductor, its tolerance would be around 20% or 30%.
  • Hi Chris,

    We are making a module that our customer are going to use in an intrinsic design, and this intrinsic design require energy storage devices (inductors and capacitors) to be known.

    I expected that you would not specify the coil used, this just give me some more work measuring a sample size of module inductors.

    Can you tell me whether TPS82084 and TPS82085 are using the same inductor? This will half my work.

  • Yes, the same inductor is used. The 2 devices are just different output current options.
