Why Coils Resist Change. The less often used of the passive components, the humble and mysterious inductor is the subject of ...

While DC/DC conversion circuitry has matured to the point that there are “cookbook” design aids as well as software to help, selecting the right power inductor is a critical aspect of converter design ...

If you have ever broken the ferrite core of an inductor, you’ll probably sympathize with [Oliver Mattos]. He accidentally stood on a ferrite-cored component, breaking it and rendering it useless. But ...

Until recently, cost and the ability of a part to function in an application have driven the choice of inductors in desktop-computing systems' processor-voltage regulators. Designers have not been ...

A basic building block of modern technology, inductors are everywhere: cellphones, laptops, radios, televisions, cars. And surprisingly, they are essentially the same today as in 1831, when they were ...

The 0615CDMCC/DS series power inductor from Sumida is a low-profile, shielded molded inductor designed for high-current DC/DC ...

Here’s a step-by-step design of a resonant-coupled inductor employed in a PFC EMI filter that doesn’t impact power factor. Over the past 40 years many of my designs included Power Factor Correction ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Scientists have discovered a new component of circuitry. For centuries, we thought ...

Buck-boost converters produce a regulated output voltage either less than or greater than the input voltage. When the input voltage is higher than the output, the converter acts as a buck. When the ...
