The inductor's current rating (caused a 40°C temperature
rising from 25°C ambient) should be greater than the
maximum load current and its saturation current should
be greater than the short circuit peak current limit. Plea se
see Table 2 for the inductor selection reference and it is
highly recommended to keep inductor value as close as
possible to the recommended inductor values for each
VOUT as shown in Table 1.

This formula ha s a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS =
IOUT / 2. This simple worst case condition is commonly
used for design because even significant deviations do
not offer much relief.
Choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than
required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to
meet size or height requirements in the design.
For the input capacitor, one 22μF low ESR ceramic
capacitors are recommended. For the recommended
ca p a citor , plea se refer to ta ble 3 for more detail.
Table 3. Suggested Capacitors for CIN and COUT
The selection of COUT is determined by the required ESR
to minimize voltage ripple.
Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key
for COUT selection to ensure that the control loop is stable.
Loop stability can be checked by viewing the load transient
response.
The output ripple, ΔVOUT, is determined by :

Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal
for switching regulator applications. However , care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at input and
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input
a nd the power is supplied by a wall ada pter through long
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the
input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden
inrush of current through the long wires can potentially
cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to da mage the
part.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the chip from
operating at excessively high temperatures. When the
junction temperature is higher than 150°C, the chip will
shut down the switching operation. The chip will
automatically resume switching, once the junction
temperature cools down by a pproxi mately 30°C.
Input and Output Capacitors Selection
The input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET .
To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input ca pacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The
RMS current is given by :
