Cars are adding smarter electronics. How a small inductors save energy, carry more current, and keep systems working reliably ...

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).

How hard can it be to create your own inductors? Get a wire. Coil it up. Right? Well, the devil is definitely in the details, and [Nick] wants to share his ten tips for building “the perfect” inductor ...

Like many passive component markets, magnetic component manufacturers face challenges in shrinking component size and weight while also delivering higher performance. Inductors and transformers are ...

A few years ago, there was a stir about a new fundamental component called a memristor. That wasn’t the first time a new component type was theorized though. In 1948 [Bernard Tellegen] postulated the ...

For RF inductor selection, José Martos and Heinz Zenkner stress the importance of evaluating inductance, natural resonant frequency, quality, DC resistance and rated current for high-frequency ...

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 ...

Viking Tech, a thin-film resistor manufacturer, announced a price hike for its thin-film inductors by 10- 40% starting in ...
