Power architectures with nonisolated voltage regulation continue to evolve, and power inductor designs are fundamental to the success of the new product designs. The trend toward two-stage conversion ...

Constrained by battery capacity, notebook manufacturers seek more efficient as well as lower-priced components for their designs. Active and passive devices used on VRMs (voltage regulator modules) ...

Choosing the correct power inductor may seem like an easy task. Choose the inductance needed for your switch-mode power supply, verify temperature rise on the datasheet, and you're off. However, if ...

A research team in the Netherlands investigated how copper planar air-core inductors can yield the required inductor properties to support sub-module power conversion in PV modules. The scientists ...

Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...

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 ...
