LMR23630-Q1: Recommended inductor value

Part Number: LMR23630-Q1

Hello,

There is a typical inductor values for given fsw, Vin, Vout conditions in LMR23630-Q1 datasheet and there is a equation to calculate minimum inductance with appropriate inductor current ripple.

In customer's use case, maximum load current is small(~0.5A). In this case, the calculated inductance is too high. I think too small inductor current ripple is not good for current mode control. 

Which one is more important to select inductor?

Regards,

Sam
