POWER INDUCTOR SELECTION
The inductor is one of the two energy storage elements in a
boost converter.

appropriate core size for the inductor involves calculating the
average and peak currents expected through the inductor. In
a boost converter,
A core size with ratings higher than these values should be
chosen. If the core is not properly rated, saturation will dra-
matically reduce overall efficiency.
The LM3481 can be set to switch at very high frequencies.
When the switching frequency is high, the converter can op-
erate with very small inductor values. With a small inductor
value, the peak inductor current can be extremely higher than
the output currents, especially under light load conditions.
The LM3481 senses the peak current through the switch. The
peak current through the switch is the same as the peak cur-
rent calculated above.
PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND OUTPUT
CURRENT
The output voltage can be programmed using a resistor di-
vider between the output and the feedback pins, as shown in

the feedback pin is 1.275V. R

A 100 pF capacitor may be connected between the feedback
and ground pins to reduce noise.
The maximum amount of current that can be delivered at the
output can be controlled by the sense resistor, R

sense resistor equals the current sense threshold voltage,

The peak current through the switch is equal to the peak in-
ductor current.
