This paper discusses the optimal matching of the power inductor for the buck-boost converter. The relationship between the amplitude of the inductor peak-peak ripple current and the input/output operating conditions of the buck-boost converter facilitates the use of smaller ferrite core power inductors. The analysis and the results of experimental tests presented in this paper prove the possibility of reducing the size of ferrite core power inductors in the buck-boost converter by exploiting partial saturation.

Abstract

This paper discusses the optimal matching of the power inductor for the buck-boost converter. The relationship between the amplitude of the inductor peak-peak ripple current and the input/output operating conditions of the buck-boost converter facilitates the use of smaller ferrite core power inductors. The analysis and the results of experimental tests presented in this paper prove the possibility of reducing the size of ferrite core power inductors in the buck-boost converter by exploiting partial saturation.
