The calculation results from the power supply design tool and the values recommended in the Application Note are different. Is this okay?
The device used is L5972D

Hello,
all the components in eDesignSuite - Power Supply design tools are designed applying formulas and calculation that take into account user's main specifications and parameters that you can change and customize in the wizard. This could explain why, sometimes, there are differences between the general application note and the specific design that you requested.
I hope this can help.
Best regards,
Patrizia
