The basic LTC1772 application circuit is shown in Figure 1.

RSENSE 2 The inductance value also has a direct effect on ripple where IRIPPLE is the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current current. The ripple current, IRIPPLE, decreases with higher (see Inductor Value Calculation section). inductance or frequency and increases with higher VIN or A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is VOUT. The inductor’s peak-to-peak ripple current is given I by: RIPPLE = (0.4)(IOUT).
