Could the inductor be redesigned in a fundamentally new way? Yes, according to new work by researchers in the US, Japan and China who have made the first high-performance inductors from intercalated ...

Question: How do you measure inductor current? Answer: Switched-mode power supplies commonly use inductors to temporarily store energy. In the evaluation of these power supplies, it’s often useful to ...

When checking and verifying capacitors, inductors, diodes, bipolar transistors, and cables, the gamut of test methods can range from those used to confirm a defective component to identifying the ...

Gowanda, N.Y. — Gowanda Electronics has introduced a series of non-magnetic inductors for magnetically-sensitive applications. The MG series is produced using a proprietary method that ensures ...

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 ...

A research team in the Netherlands investigated how copper planar air-core inductors can yield the required inductor properties to support sub-module power conversion in PV modules. The scientists ...

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 ...
