Creating a basic inductor on a substrate sounds easy—just metallize the substrate, preferably with a spiral, serpentine, or other pattern. While traditional microchip inductors are relatively large 2D ...

This application note describes the reasons why working voltage ratings are not usually indicated in datasheets. It briefly defines voltage rating, calculation, and the test methods to determine the ...

We report a fabrication technology for 3D air-core inductors for small footprint and very-high-frequency power conversions. Our process is scalable and highly generic for fabricating inductors with a ...

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

[Kalle] tipped us about a quick project he made over a couple of evenings: an inductor saturation current tester. All the components used for it were salvaged from a beefy telecom power supply, which ...

Gowanda, N.Y. — Gowanda Electronics has introduced a series of non-magnetic inductors for magnetically-sensitive applications. The MG series is produced using a proprietary method that ensures ...

Could the inductor be redesigned in a fundamentally new way? Yes, according to new work by researchers in the US, Japan and China who have made the first high-performance inductors from intercalated ...
