Hi,
I'm looking at a design (using the TPS61085) which requires a maximum of 100mA of current output. When calculating the inductor value using equation 5 in the datasheet, I end up with a result in the order of tens of uH which isn't surprising given the low current.
However, the previous paragraph in the datasheet suggests using an inductor between 3uH and 6uH and presumably using such a value would also violate the recommendation of maintaining ripple under 35% of the load current.
What is the recommended approach when dealing with low average currents?
Thanks
