standard values are 3.3µH, 3.3µH and 1.5µH. At the
maximum input voltage (20V), the ripple will be:

Channel 1 will have ~2.3A (46%) ripple, and both channel
2 and channel 3 will have ~1.75A (35%) ripple. The peak
inductor current will be the maximum DC value plus one-
half the ripple current, or 6.15A for channel 1 and 5.88A
for channels 2 and 3.
With I
LIM
high, the equivalent R
SENSE
resistor value can be
calculated by using the minimum value for the maximum
current sense threshold (65mV).

The 1.2 factor adds margin for component variation and
overcurrent headroom during full load transients.
The equivalent R

is the same for channels 1, 2
and 3.
The Vishay IHLP2525CZER3R3M01 (30mΩ DCR

at
20°C) and IHLP2525CZER1R5M01 (15mΩ DCR

at
20°C,) are chosen. At 100°C, the estimated maximum
DCR values are 39.6mV and 19.8mV. The divider ratios are:
