TIDM-1000: Boost Inductor Clarification

Part Number: TIDM-1000
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

Hi,

I'm just wondering if there is some detail on the boost inductors L2,L4,L5 in the reference design. They are 53PR116-292 by Vitec according to the BOM. tiducj0c.pdf details how to size the inductor with the input ripple being the user specified parameter. I see a reference to the inductor being 3mH on page 18 but I'm not sure if this is the same as the fitted inductors on the EVM.

Thanks,

James

  • James,

    We have the datasheet of the inductors in the controlSUITE package,

    C:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\tidm_1000\v1_01_00_00\hardware\magnetics_datasheet

    We do not have the core/ wire information as we did not do the magnetics design itself. That was done by Vitec.

    The fitted part should match the BOM part, is there a specific reason for suspicion?

    regards

  • Thanks Manish, I didn't think to look in the contol suite folder.

    My question was coming from trying to make sure I understand your design. I am designing something similar and am trying to juggle inductor size for switching frequency. Getting >=2mH of inductance in an off-the-shelf inductor seems to be challenging.

    Regards,
    James
