Inductor Selection

When using the MCP1603, the inductance value can

range from 3.3 µH to 10 µH. An inductance value of

4.7 µH is recommended to achieve a good balance

between converter load transient response and

minimized noise.

The value of inductance is selected to achieve a

desired amount of ripple current. It is reasonable to

assume a ripple current that is 20% of the maximum

load current. The larger the amount of ripple current

allowed, the larger the output capacitor value becomes

to meet ripple voltage specifications. The inductor

ripple current can be calculated according to the

following equation.

EQUATION 5-4:

When considering inductor ratings, the maximum DC

current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to

the maximum load current, plus one half the peak-to-

peak inductor ripple current (1/2 x

I

L). The inductor

DC resistance adds to the total converter power loss.

An inductor with a low DC resistance allows for higher

converter efficiency.

Thermal Calculations

The MCP1603 is available in two different packages

(TSOT-23 and 2x3 DFN). The junction temperature is

estimated by calculating the power dissipation and

applying the package thermal resistance (



JA). The

maximum continuous junction temperature rating for

the MCP1603 is +125°C.

To quickly estimate the internal power dissipation for

the switching buck regulator, an empirical calculation

using measured efficiency can be used. Given the

measured efficiency, the internal power dissipation is

estimated by the following equation:

EQUATION 5-5:

The difference between the first term, input power

dissipation, and the second term, power delivered, is

the internal power dissipation. This is an estimate

assuming that most of the power lost is internal to the

MCP1603. There is some percentage of power lost in

the buck inductor, with very little loss in the input and

output capacitors.
