19. Buck Converter Inductor Selection
Rohan is designing a 24V to 5V buck converter for an embedded control board.
The board can draw up to 2A load current.
He has designed the converter to use a 22 µH shielded power inductor.
Help him select a suitable SMD power inductor.
Make sure it can handle the inductor current safely, has enough saturation margin, and keeps power loss low for efficient operation.
