Selecting inductor specifications.

Summarizing inductor options.

Here are XL1509-3.3–appropriate inductor suggestions, sized for a 2 A load with adequate saturation headroom, backed by the regulator’s datasheet.
What the XL1509-3.3 datasheet calls for
  • Switching frequency: 150 kHz (typ).
  • Typical 3.3 V application: L1 47 µH/2 A.
  • Table entry (fixed 3.3 V) shows: L1 = 47 µH.
Recommended inductors (47 µH primary, with ≥3 A Isat headroom)
  • Best headroom, shielded
    • YSPI1365-470M — 47 µH; Isat 7.0 A; Irms 5.0 A; DCR max 80 mΩ; SMD 13.8×12.6×6.5 mm. Plenty of margin for 2 A load and good copper loss.
  • Compact, widely used shielded drum core
    • CDRH127NP-470MC — 47 µH; DCR 0.10 Ω max (76 mΩ typ); Isat 3.6 A (4.5 A typ); Irms 3.2 A. Meets the current and saturation needs with moderate DCR.
Alternative (only if you must increase L)
  • YSPI1050-680M — 68 µH; Isat 4.0 A; Irms 3.0 A; DCR typ 240 mΩ (max 300 mΩ); 10×10 mm. Higher DCR; use only if your input conditions push you to a higher L. Verify loop stability if deviating from 47 µH.
Selection notes for your 2 A design
  • Per best practices, operate at no more than 90% of Isat and no more than 60% of Imax (thermal/Irms). The 47 µH parts above clear this easily.
  • The XL1509-3.3’s own examples specify 47 µH for 3.3 V; it’s the right starting point unless a special VIN/ripple target requires otherwise.
  • Favor shielded inductors with low DCR to reduce copper loss and EMI.
Want me to add one of these to your project and wire it into U2 per the datasheet? If yes, pick the part and I’ll place it.
