This application note presents the types of core materials used in power inductors. It also briefly discusses the core saturation, core loss, as well as the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). This ...

Wound-toroid inductors have been the mainstay for desktop core voltage regulators (V CORE) for years. Historically, the bulky size, sloppy tolerances and high power losses of these inductors were not ...

Over the past year, power inductor manufacturers have been tackling some of the biggest challenges in high-temperature applications, particularly automotive. Many of the newest products are making ...

Excessive use of electricity and poor efficiencies are no longer acceptable. Eliminating poor power factor will result in increasing electrical efficiencies and will reduce the overall use of ...

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 ...

Knowles is aiming 1008 size (2.8 x 2.6 x 2.3mm) ceramic core RF inductors at medical and defence markets. The CL1008-2 family have copper barrier plating for non-magnetic applications and come in nine ...
