I am using a DC-DC converter which is having an inductor rating of 68uH and 2.05A.
Output Voltage of dc-dc is 23V and output current max is 300mA
Schematic :
I am using a current probe and measuring the current through the inductor.
When I turn ON the DC-DC converter, the Inductor draws 10.75A. Should I consider this as Inductor Inrush current or peak current? If I consider this as Inrush current, as I do this during start-up of the converter, then how to measure the peak current of the inductor?
And since the inductor is rated for only 2.05A, won't this high current damage the component even though it is for a short duration?
Current probe is set as 0.1V/A in the probe and 0.1V/A in the scope as well.
Inductor Peak current (below is the waveform captured during the start-up of the DC-DC converter):
Inductor RMS Current (below is the waveform captured during normal running condition of the DC-DC Converter) :
