Power electronics are rapidly expanding into new applications as high-power semiconductor devices increase their rated operating current and frequencies to higher and higher levels. As a basic ...

Back to the basics: there are three kinds of passive electronic components: Inductors, Capacitors and Resistors. An inductor can be easily built and many types of core and bobbin kits are available.

Inductors are used in almost every DC/DC converter. The transformer is the heart of any converter design and by far the most critical component in determining the overall performance. The most common ...

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 ...

The 2200RMseries of bobbin wound inductors from Murata Power Solutions provides a surfacemount alternative to the company's 2200R series. Suitable for use in a widerange of low to medium current ...

The SPD73 and SPD74 series shielded surface-mount power inductors each offer a total of 30 inductance values ranging from 1.2 mH to 1,000 mH. Resistance values range down to 0.02W and current ratings ...
