Selection of Components Externally Connected
1. Selection of inductor (L)
The inductance significantly depends on output ripple current.
As seen in the equation (1), the ripple current decreases as the
inductor and/or switching frequency increases.

Figure 27. Output ripple current
Current exceeding the current rating of the inductor results in magnetic saturation of the inductor, which decreases efficiency.
The inductor must be selected allowing sufficient margin with which the peak current may not exceed its current rating.
If VCC=5V, VOUT=3.3V, f=1MHz, ΔIL=0.3×0.8A=0.24A, for example,

Select the inductor of low resistance component (such as DCR and ACR) to minimize dissipation in the inductor for better
efficiency.
2. Selection of output capacitor (CO)
VCC
Output capacitor should be selected with the consideration on the stability
region and the equivalent series resistance required to smooth ripple voltage.
Output ripple voltage is determined by the equation (4)：
ΔVOUT=ΔIL×ESR [V]・・・(4)

*Rating of the capacitor should be determined allowing sufficient margin
against output voltage. Less ESR allows reduction in output ripple voltage.
Figure 28. Output capacitor
As the output rise time must be designed to fall within the soft-start time, the capacitance of output capacitor should be
determined with consideration on the requirements of equation (5):

Inappropriate capacitance may cause problem in startup. A 10 μF to 100 μF ceramic capacitor is recommended.
3. Selection of input capacitor (Cin)
Input capacitor to select must be a low ESR capacitor of the capacitance
