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 ...

Schematic diagrams of the nanostructure and magnetic domain structure of a conventional amorphous soft magnetic ribbon (left) and the newly developed ribbon (right). The new material exhibits a ...

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 ...

Power architectures with nonisolated voltage regulation continue to evolve, and power inductor designs are fundamental to the success of the new product designs. The trend toward two-stage conversion ...

Controlled nanostructure and magnetic domains open the door to next-generation transformers and EV components. (Nanowerk News) A research team from NIMS, Tohoku University and AIST has developed a new ...
