How to design the inductors for TPS923655 / TPS923654 / TPS923653 / TPS923652?

  • Please follow below guidance for the inductors design of TPS923655 / TPS923654 / TPS923653 / TPS923652:

    Boost Configuration:

    In a boost regulator, the inductor DC current can be calculated as:

          (1)

               (2)

    Iout is the current go through the LED load.

    The inductor ripple current is calculated as:

       (3)

     (4) 

    From (1) - (4), we can get:

    K is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the inductor DC current.
    Fsw is the switching frequency.

    Vout:

    (1) If you are using the device in Boost connection, Vout refers to the sum of the forward voltage across LED load.

    (2) If you are using the device in Buck-Boost connection, Vout refers to the sum of the forward voltage across LED load plus your maximum input voltage.

    For example, in TPS923655 datasheet Section 8.2.1.2, Vin = 12V, Vout = 36V, Iout = 1A, Fsw = 500kHz, choose KIND = 0.6, the calculated inductance is (12*24*12) / (36*0.6*500000*1*36) = 8.9uH.
