Design Example
As a design example, assume the LTC3406AB-2 is used
in a single lithium-ion battery-powered cellular phone
application. The VIN will be operating from a maximum of
4.2V down to about 2.7V. The load current requirement
is a maximum of 0.6A but most of the time it will be in
standby mode, requiring only 2mA. Efï¬ciency at both
low and high load currents is important. Output voltage
is 2.5V. With this information we can calculate L using
Equation (1),

Substituting VOUT = 2.5V, VIN = 4.2V, ÎIL = 240mA and
f = 2.25MHz in Equation (3) gives:

= 1.87μH
A 2.2μH inductor works well for this application. For best
efï¬ciency choose a 720mA or greater inductor with less
than 0.2Ω series resistance.
CIN will require an RMS current rating of at least 0.3A â
ILOAD(MAX)/2 at temperature and COUT will require an ESR
of less than 0.25Ω. In most cases, a ceramic capacitor
will satisfy this requirement.
