DCDC inductor resistance

[Silva]

To reduce nRF52 design thickness, I'm planning to use a low profile inductor on the DCDC converter. The low profile inductor has a higher resistance, compared to the recommended inductor. The recommended inductor has 0.3ohm resistance and 80mA max current. A low profile inductor has 2ohm resistance and 170mA saturation current and 220mA temp rise current. Both have a resonance frequency in the range of tens of Mega Hz. Does the increase in inductor resistance compromises the system functionality? Apart from the marginal increase in power consumption.

It should work to use an inductor with higher resistance than the one in our reference layout, but it will lower the efficiency of the DCDC converter. What is important is that the max current in the inductor is at least 80 mA, which is fine in your case.
