Hi
I am wondering about the calculation of the inductor in a buck-design. There is a lot of examples and equations out on the Internet, and they seems to work :)
But i can't understand (or see the logic in), that if I design a powersupply to deliver 5 Amp. and calculate the inductor to be 4uH... but if I put 1 Amp in the same equation, I got 16uH ???
Why is the inductor getting larger when the load on the powersupply is getting lower??? should there be a minimum load??? and should the inductor-calculation be based upon that???.
With kind regards
