When an IC has an overcurrent detection function, must the output inductor saturation current be set equal to or greater than the overcurrent detection value?
If there is a load current exceeding the saturation current of the inductor, the ripple current increases more than anticipated, and the overcurrent detection value is reached. Hence it is recommended that the saturation current value be set to the overcurrent detection value or higher.
