Inputs
The minumum parameters required for designing a SMPS are the input and output voltage, current and switching frequency.
You either specify the value of the inductance in μH, or you can specify the current ripple as a percentage.
If you want to have a maximum peak-peak value of the current of 400mA for an averaged output current of 1[A], you select 40% and leave the input value for the inductor equal to 0. A corresponding value for the inductance is then calculated.
If you specify the numerical value for the inductance, the waveform of the current is calculated.
To find the inductance at the border of CCM and DCM, specify a value of 200% for the current ripple.
Numerical evaluation of inputs
An input value has to be provided, but can be replaced by an expression, for example 0.5*12 for an output voltage or 20/3.3 for an output current.

Using parameters as input variable
You can use the input variables as a parameter in an expression, to make the input dependent. For example the first input would be Vin being equal to 10 volts. The output voltage could then be written as 0.5*Vin for an output voltage of 5 volts. In this way you can scale parameters.
