Proper inductor selection requires a good understanding of inductor performance and of how desired in-circuit performance relates to the information available in supplier data sheets.This article ...

Bourns, Inc. announced a new series of semi-shielded power inductors. The semi-shielded SRN model series combines the features of non-shielded and shielded inductors, making them ideal for use in ...

Coilcraft had introduced screened inductors intended to reduce losses in power converters running from 2 to 5MHz, and above, at high ripple current. “The use of high switching frequencies or high ...

Using the intrinsic circuit parasitic elements, like inductor dc resistance (DCR) or MOSFET on-state resistance, for lossless current sensing is quite common as it enables high-power density and ...

Texas Instruments has introduced a DC/DC step-down controller with remote bipolar junction transistor (BJT) temperature-compensated inductor current sensing. The benefit is a smaller design footprint ...

While DC/DC conversion circuitry has matured to the point that there are “cookbook” design aids as well as software to help, selecting the right power inductor is a critical aspect of converter design ...
