The datasheet for TPS54225 staters the output inductor ripple must not be more than 40% at maximum load.
(http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/lit/getliterature.tsp?genericPartNumber=tps54225&fileType=pdf October 2010 page 12)
It is also says in the same paragraph
"Larger ripple current increases output ripple voltage, improves S/N ratio and contributes to stable operation.
Smaller ripple currents result in lower output voltage ripple. When using low ESR output capacitors output ripple
voltage is usually low, so larger ripple currents are acceptable."
This seems a little counterintuitive. Is >40% ripple going to cause instability due to D-CAP2 control's compensation or other ill effects?
In my application I'd have 1.8V 900mA and using 6.8uH inductor would result in about .5 ripple (.45 ripple, .9 iout). Components are otherwise happy with this arrangement due to ceramics.
