Choose The Right Regulator For The Right Job (Part 3)
by Don Corey, Maxim Integrated, Chelmsford, Mass, How2Power Today, Feb 15 2015
Focus:
Part 3 works through an example of how to select a switching regulator IC and simulate a design
based on it using a vendor supplied tool (Maxim’s). But first, this part reviews the equations
required for inductor and capacitor selection, and notes some vendor tools and references that
will be helpful in calculating these component values.
What you’ll learn:
- How to select the inductor and input and output capacitors for a buck converter design
- How to use Maxim’s product selection tool to select a switching regulatory IC
- How to use Maxim’s version of EEsim to simulate a dc-dc converter design
