CHOOSING THE INDUCTOR
VOUT USING 100µF, 0.08Ω 10mV/DIV TANTALUM For most applications, the output inductor will fall into the OUTPUT CAPACITOR range of 5µH to 30µH. Lower values are chosen to reduce physical size of the inductor. Higher values allow more V 1 IN = 12V µs/DIV 1956 F03 output current because they reduce peak current seen by VOUT = 5V L = 15µH the LT1956 switch, which has a 1.5A limit. Higher values

Ceramic vs Tantalum Output Capacitors
When choosing an inductor you will need to consider Output ripple voltage is determined by ripple current output ripple voltage, maximum load current, peak induc- (ILP-P) through the inductor and the high frequency tor current and fault current in the inductor. In addition, impedance of the output capacitor. At high frequencies, other factors such as core and copper losses, allowable the impedance of the tantalum capacitor is dominated by component height, EMI, saturation and cost should also its effective series resistance (ESR). be considered.
