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 ...

ALPS Green Devices has developed the “GLCLK Series” and “GLCLM Series” Liqualloy Power Inductors, suitable for power supply circuits of displays for smartphones and other compact mobile devices, such ...

Input current for a passive PFC circuit is insensitive to changes in the output ripple - so it requires a smaller inductance than previous circuits. Mangesh Borage, Sunil Tiwari, and S. Kotaiah, ...

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

Fullterton, Calif. – TT Electronics' BI Technologies Magnetic Components division has launched a series of surface-mount, micropower inductors for use in portable products and other applications where ...

(Nanowerk News) Research from University of California, Berkeley scientists sponsored by Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), the world’s leading university-research consortium for semiconductors ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

Over the past century, electronic engineering has improved massively. In the 1920s, a state-of-the-art AM radio contained several vacuum tubes, a few enormous inductors, capacitors and resistors, ...

The 2x10 rod inductors used by automotive industry clients, with a tiny size of 2mm×10mm, carry the performance assurance of critical circuits. To ensure their stability under complex conditions, each ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...
