Creating a basic inductor on a substrate sounds easy—just metallize the substrate, preferably with a spiral, serpentine, or other pattern. While traditional microchip inductors are relatively large 2D ...

This application note describes the reasons why working voltage ratings are not usually indicated in datasheets. It briefly defines voltage rating, calculation, and the test methods to determine the ...

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 ...

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 ...

[Kalle] tipped us about a quick project he made over a couple of evenings: an inductor saturation current tester. All the components used for it were salvaged from a beefy telecom power supply, which ...

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 ...
