This application note covers the steps required in choosing the inductor and to calculate the value used in buck regulator IC circuits. Switching regulators are used in a variety of applications to ...

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 ...

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...

Portable battery-operated electronic equipment is becoming packed with more features requiring larger amounts of power, leading to decreased operating times between battery charges. Innovations such ...

Passive circuits for power factor correction (PFC) are simple, reliable, robust, and they don't generate EMI [1-4]. Plus, they offer a low-cost alternative for complying with harmonic current limit ...

This video explains the function of inductors and how they store energy in a magnetic field when current flows through them. Inductors are essential passive components used to manage current changes ...

OBJECTIVE: You will wind (and test) your own inductor, which you will also use in the AM radio project in a subsequent lab. You will also investigate the properties of capacitors by making a simple ...
