Inductor Help

(1/1)

bigjoncoop:
hey,

im trying to copy a lithium usb charging board based on the tp5000 ic..

im trying to design my own and have them assembled by jlbpcb since i can order a bunch and have them within 1 week instead of waiting a month..

ill post a picture of said board.

**the schematic and datasheet just show a 4.7uh inductor but no other specs.
but on jlcpcb parts inventory they have a bunch of 4.7uh smd inductors with different DC Resistance (DCR) and rated current...
im assuming i need one with a rated current of my circuit but what about the DC Resistance (DCR)???  they range from 19mega ohm to 500 mega ohm... 

any ideas of which one would be best?

hagster:
Hopefully the DCR is in Milli ohms not Mega.

A lower DCR is more efficient.

You should also check the self resonant frequency SRF. This needs to be significantly higher than the switching frequency(800khz).

james_s:
I think that's probably milli ohm, not mega. 500 megohms would be ridiculously high for an inductor. Assuming it's milliohms you want the lowest possible in most cases.
