As Lenz’s Law states, an inductor in a circuit opposes the flow of current through it because the flow induces an electromotive force (emf) that opposes it. In order to keep the current flowing ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corporation, announces the LTC7820, a high power fixed ratio charge pump DC/DC controller that eliminates the power inductor in a ...
Infineon’s OktoberTech in Silicon Valley provided a glimpse of the shift in power architecture with hot-swap controllers, ...
Sensors monitoring mechanical and biological systems must often scavenge power from the thing being sensed. The oscillator circuits shown here let you operate those sensors. Sensor circuits that ...
Bourns announced its SRP3220A series shielded power inductors. Designed with Bourns’ uniquely-formulated metal alloy powder core, the series can handle high currents up to 11A without saturating, and ...
