Wound-toroid inductors have been the mainstay for desktop core voltage regulators (V CORE) for years. Historically, the bulky size, sloppy tolerances and high power losses of these inductors were not ...

Until recently, cost and the ability of a part to function in an application have driven the choice of inductors in desktop-computing systems' processor-voltage regulators. Designers have not been ...

When both of the inductor terminals are respectively connected to each terminal of the other inductor or inductors, they are said to be in parallel connection. The total inductance is less than any ...

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 ...

Bel group company Signal Transformer has released its latest High Current Toroidal Inductor (HCTI) Design Kit. This new design kit provides a varied selection of toroidal inductors to design engineers ...

The 8300 Series toroidal surface-mount power inductors are suitable for handheld consumer electronics with a restricted PCB footprint and height The 8300 Series toroidal surface-mount power inductors ...

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 ...
