Suggested Inductors and Their Suppliers
The designer should choose the inductors that best match the system requirements. A very wide range of
inductors are available as regarding physical size, height, maximum current (thermally limited, and inductance
loss limited), series resistance, maximum operating frequency, losses, etc. In general, smaller physical size
inductors will have higher series resistance (DCR) and implicitly lower overall efficiency is achieved. Very low-
profile inductors may have even higher series resistance. The designer should try to find the best compromise
between system performance and cost.

OUTPUT AND INPUT CAPACITORS CHARACTERISTICS
Special attention should be paid when selecting these components. As shown in the following figure, the DC bias
of these capacitors can result in a capacitance value that falls below the minimum value given in the
recommended capacitor specifications table. Note that the graph shows the capacitance out of spec for the 0402
case size capacitor at higher bias voltages. It is therefore recommended that the capacitor manufacturers’
specifications for the nominal value capacitor are consulted for all conditions, as some capacitor sizes (e.g.,
0402) may not be suitable in the actual application.
