To ensure stable output current, use a 1% accuracy resistor with adequate power tolerance and a good

temperature characteristic for Rs.

Inductor L1

The recommended range for the L1 inductor is 33

µH to 220µH. Select the inductor value for L1 as needed to

ensure that switch on/off times are optimized across the load current and supply voltage ranges. If the application

requires a high supply voltage and low output current, inductance values at the high end of this range are

recommended to minimize errors due to switching delays, which can reduce efficiency and increase ripple on the
