Hi I'm currently designing a Boost regulator to convert 12V to 14V. I plan to use the LM2587 from NS. This reg needs a coil but I can find nowhere the influence of this coil. Can anybody help me to choose this coil (specially the value). I need 5A output capability. Input : 12V/7Ah (Pb Accumulator), Output 13.8V /50W and next 12V/4Ah (NiCd Accumulators), output 13.8V/50W Thanks -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
