11.2.2 Configure the Inductor Current

The Piezo load requires approximately 1.88 mA of average current based on the following equation:

Piezo Actuator Current Requirements (Approximate)
Iout_max = 2π × Cactuator × Vboost × ƒin_maxIout_max = 1.884956 mA
Maximum required amplifier current (estimate)
GUID-52C9A37D-488A-4FBA-BB2D-2A1BB4C725F5-low.gifIbat_max = 139.626 mA
Maximum VBAT current

This means that the inductor current limit (REXT) needs to be sufficiently large to support 1.88 mA.

The DRV2667EVM-CT inductor is already fixed, but from here forward you may choose a different inductor that fits your load requirements. The maximum boost current with 80 Vp boost voltage is 12.4 mA, based on the 3.3-µH /1.1-A TDK inductor selected using the following equations:
