APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Inductor Selection
The high frequency operation of the LTC3533 allows the
use of small surface mount inductors. The inductor ripple
current is typically set to 20% to 40% of the maximum
inductor current. For a given ripple the inductance terms
are given as follows:

For high effi ciency, choose a ferrite inductor with a high
frequency core material to reduce core losses. The induc-
tor should have low ESR (equivalent series resistance) to
reduce the I
2
R losses, and must be able to handle the peak
inductor current without saturating. Molded chokes or chip
inductors usually do not have enough core to support the
peak inductor currents in the 4A to 6A region. To minimize
radiated noise, use a shielded inductor. See Table 1 for a
suggested list of inductor suppliers.
Output Capacitor Selection
The bulk value of the output fi lter capacitor is set to reduce
the ripple due to charge into the capacitor each cycle. The
steady state ripple due to charge is given by:

The output capacitance is usually many times larger than
