Inductor SIzing For 5252F Solar Charger

Qdeathstar:
i am driving 15 leds in parallel, and i want to drive them at between 10 and 15ma each which would mean about 100-150ma. The table doesn’t go that high. The chip is capable of up to 300ma

I could be wrong, but it seems like you're courting disaster with so many LEDs in parallel. Is their brightness even, or do some appear brighter than others? I would suggest a serial resistor on each LED, like around 75Ω.

Also, I played around with that formula, trying to get the same values as in the table, and I can't get any corroboration!

For instance, if we take the 56µH case, it says the input voltage [I'm assuming that what they mean] is 1.3V:
P[sub]LED[/sub] = I[sub]LED[/sub] * E[sub]LED[/sub] = 2V[sub]IN[/sub]/L [where 'L' is inductance in µH]

So:

PLED = 2 * 1.3 / 56 = 46.4mW

If: PLED = ILED * ELED Then: ILED = PLED / ELED

and assuming an LED voltage of 2V:

ILED = 46.4mW / 2V = 23.2 mA

The table says 50 mA!!

46.4mW / 50mA = 0.93V

So, are they assuming an IR LED?!?

I would just extrapolate from what you know. Run the thing with one LED, and a 220µH inductor and measure the current. Then go from there.
