IHLP Selection Example
SELECTION CRITERIA
1. Limit core losses (PCORE) to  1/3 of total losses for 40 °C temperature rise (PHEAT).
2. Total copper losses allowed will be equal to PHEAT - PCORE.
3. Maximum component temperature should be kept  125 °C, 155 °C for -51 components.
4. Maximum T should be  40 °C (this can be exceeded provided caution is taken to insure max. temperature  125 °C/155 °C).
5. IPEAK  ISAT (recommended, IPEAK can exceed ISAT with caution due to soft saturation of IHLP product).

SELECTION PROCESS
APPLICATION NOTE
Note
• This process assumes that the following is known: Required inductance, frequency, IDC, I, TAMB, and V-μs (ET) required.
Step 1.
Select inductor value based on controller data
sheet recommendation and current (IDC) rating.
Step 6.
Use selection criteria #2 to determine allowable
copper losses.
Step 2.
Determine peak operational flux density in Gauss
using equation #1.
Step 7.
Determine actual copper losses using equations
#4, #5 and #6.
Step 3.
Calculate effective frequency using equation #2.
Step 8.
Use equation #7 for total losses.
Step 4.
Determine core loss using equation #3 (see notes
#1 and #2) and compare to selection criteria #1.
Step 9.
Step 5.
If core losses are > 1/3 PHEAT select a larger
inductor.
Determine T using equation #8 and insure
TOPER  125 °C (155 °C for -51 material) using
equation #9.
Step 10. Verify IPEAK is less then ISAT using equation #10 for
the selected part (see selection criteria #5).
