This application note presents the types of core materials used in power inductors. It also briefly discusses the core saturation, core loss, as well as the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). This ...

Over the past year, power inductor manufacturers have been tackling some of the biggest challenges in high-temperature applications, particularly automotive. Many of the newest products are making ...

Inductors are deceptively simple. However, a closer look reveals underlying complexity. How else can you explain the many types of core materials, types of windings, sizes, geometries and wide range ...

A new shielded shaped core power inductor has been designed for use in voltage regulator module (VRM) applications in computer desktops, portables, workstations, and servers. The PA0513 inductor has ...

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 ...
