Inductor Selection
Recommended inductor values for the ZXLD1350 are in the range 47µH to 220µH.
Higher values of inductance are recommended at higher supply voltages in order to minimize errors due to switching delays,
which result in increased ripple and lower efficiency. Higher values of inductance also result in a smaller change in output
current over the supply voltage range. (See graphs). The inductor should be mounted as close to the device as possible with
low resistance connections to the LX and V
IN
pins.
The chosen coil should have a saturation current higher than the peak output current and a continuous
current rating above the required mean output current.
Suitable coils for use with the ZXLD1350 are listed in the table below:

The inductor value should be chosen to maintain operating duty cycle and switch 'on'/'off' times within the specified limits over
the supply voltage and load current range.
The following equations can be used as a guide, with reference to Figure 1 - Operating waveforms.
