Application Information
Inductor Selection
The PW5200A/ PW5200C can utilize small surface mount and chip inductors due to their fast 1.4MHz switching frequency. A minimum inductance value of 2.2μH is necessary for 3.6V and lower voltage applications and 4.7μH for output voltages greater than 3.6V. Larger values by reducing the inductor ripple current. Increasing the inductance above 10μH will increase size while providing little improvement in output current capability.

The inductor current ripple is typically set for 20% to 40% of the maximum inductor current (IP). High frequency ferrite core inductor materials reduce frequency dependent power losses compared to cheaper powdered iron types, improving efficiency. The inductor should have low ESR (series resistance of the windings) to reduce the I2R power losses, and must be able to handle the peak inductor current without saturating. Molded chokes and some chip inductors usually do not have enough core to support the peak inductor currents of 850mA seen on the PW5200A/ PW5200C. To minimize radiated noise, use a toroid, pot core or shielded bobbin inductor. See Table 1 for some suggested components and suppliers.
Output and Input Capacitor Selection
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should be used to minimize the output voltage ripple. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. A 4.7μF to 15μF output capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Larger values up to 22μF may be used to obtain extremely low output voltage ripple and improve transient response. An additional phase lead capacitor may be required with output capacitors larger than 10μF to maintain acceptable phase margin. X5R and X7R dielectric materials are preferred for their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges.
Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching noise and reduce the peak current drawn from the battery. It follows that ceramic capacitors are also a good choice for input decoupling and should be located as close as possible to the device. A 10μF input capacitor is sufficient for virtually any application. Larger values may be used without limitations.
