Green energy applications such as hybrid vehicles, wind energy, and solar energy stand to reap big benefits from regulated electronic power conversion common to switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

To operate at maximum efficiency, RF inductors should exhibit low parasitics and low resistive loss at the frequency of use. Consequently, air core inductors have long been the traditional choice for ...

TDK Corp. has launched the ADL8030VA, a high-performance automotive inductor for power-over-coaxial (PoC) applications. The PoC inductor reduces design complexity and cost in advanced ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. As the demand increases for higher-current, low-voltage multiphase synchronous buck converters, a method for sensing current without the penalty of ...

Active inductors employ transistor-based networks to emulate the behaviour of passive inductors while offering tunability, reduced silicon area and integration into standard CMOS processes. By ...

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 ...

Mathieu Renaud, Senior Power Management Designer, Intégration Dolphin Inc. Yves Gagnon, Executive Director, Intégration Dolphin Inc. Inductor-based Switching Regulators (SR) have historically ...

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 ...

YouTuber [RimstarOrg], AKA Hackaday’s own [Steven Dufresne], shows how to make a DIY inductor for a specific inductance. This is obviously a great skill to learn as sometimes your design may call for ...
