Selecting passive components
One of the first steps in designing any PWM I IN
switching regulator is to decide how much l L1a
inductor ripple current, ∆IL(PP), to allow. Too
much increases EMI, while too little may
result in unstable PWM operation. A rule of

thumb is to assign a value for K between 0.2 I L1b
and 0.4 of the average input current. A desired
ripple current can be calculated as follows:
*Measured flowing into CC from Q1’s drain.
Desired ∆I L(PP) = K × IIN

In an ideal, tightly coupled inductor, with each inductor Like a buck converter, the output of a ZETA converter
having the same number of windings on a single core, the has very low ripple. Equation 6 computes the component
coupling forces the ripple current to be split equally of the output ripple voltage that is due solely to the capac-
between the two coupled inductors. In a real coupled itance value:
inductor, the inductors do not have equal inductance and ∆I L1b(PP) [at VIN(max) ]
the ripple currents will not be exactly equal. Regardless, ∆VC (PP) = , (6)
