I am trying to design a buck/boost converter with the LTC3780 chip from Linear. My specifications are:
- Vin = 6 to 32V
- Vout = 24V at 100mV ripple
- Ioutmax = 2A
- Frequency = 300kHz
The datasheet uses the terms "inductor current ripple" and "maximum inductor current at boost mode."
What are these terms and how can I calculate them?

Linear has excellent datasheets with lots of application information, calculations and component selection. This datasheet is no exception. On page 16:
Yes, they're long datasheets, but worth reading from beginning to end.
