or a wireound SM part.

depends how big it is or did u mean to say through hole type ?

Colin =^.^=

How much AC voltage and current are you putting on the inductor?

Whats the coverter frequency?

Whats the DC component of the induictor current?

they are not exclusive! if you like you may specify a certain xx.xx uH, @ fmax and @ Imax, as well as pick the size, form and factor. All real-world inductors are wire wound upon something. IN smd pack the mu metal is designed into standard smd footprints. OR, you can obtain the inductance in a leaded part, in fact you may obtain radial or axial leeded inductors for your use.

Best regards and happy designing

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Both.

Many surface-mount inductors are wirewound. But inductor size tends to go as the amount of energy you're storing in them (among other things), and the amount of energy you're storing in them goes up with your supply's power capabilities, down as your supply's frequency goes up, and can be pulled up or down with other features of your supply design.

First understand what you're doing.

Then determine the min & max currents in your inductor.

Then determine the voltage swing in your inductor.

Then determine your frequency.

Then go shopping.

That's not easy when one's understanding of analogue electronics is limited. The frequency will be several hundred kHz. Derived from a timer counter after experimentation with pwm to get the voltage right. Current is 5mA nom,
