1 MHz switching — inductor sizing
At this frequency the switching losses are manageable for a 500 mA load, and the output ripple stays within 20–30 mV peak-to-peak with a 10 µF ceramic output cap.
500 mA output — load budget fit
Rated for 500 mA continuous output, this part suits low-power rails like sensor supplies, MCU I/O banks, or auxiliary bias lines.
