Accurately predicting core losses in magnetic components is difficult, and no less challenging in composite inductors. Several core loss models are available, all of which have their merits. This ...

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 ...

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 ...

With their ability to resist changes in current, inductors are one of the basic but fundamental components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time. This tutorial provides an ...

Power architectures with nonisolated voltage regulation continue to evolve, and power inductor designs are fundamental to the success of the new product designs. The trend toward two-stage conversion ...

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 ...
