APPLICATION INFORMATION
The basic AMC3100 application circuit is shown in Figure 1. External component selection is driven by load

Inductor selection:
For most applications, the value of the inductor will fall in the range of 1uH to 4.7uH. Its value is chosen
based on the desired ripple current. Large value inductors lower ripple current, and small value inductors result in
higher ripple currents.
