Hi,
Looking at the circuit diagram of the XMC Digital Power Explorer Power Board from Infineon, I find that there are 2 Inductors are used L1 and L3 from Würth. This circuit is a synchronous buck converter using IRS2011SPBF to drive the 2 MOSFETs as show in the attached file.
Why would the designer use 2 inductors in this circuit?
Would it be possible to use only one inductor?
What is the function of the resistor in parallel with L3?
Thank you in advance
Jeddison

Hi Jeddison,
Note: I am not familiar with the XMC Digital Power Explorer Power Board.
L3 is only 470 nH, which is a factor 50x smaller than the main power inductor L1 at 22 uH. L3 is thus not used for power conversion, but rather for filtering out high-frequency switching noise. R127's function is to make this filter dissipative, thereby lowering the Q-factor / preventing resonance.

Hi Andrew,
thank you for the explanation, the time and effort you put into it.
Do you have any references where I can look into this and similar subjects.
Best regards,
Jeddison
