With their ability to resist changes in current, inductors are one of the basic but fundamental components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time. This tutorial provides an ...

When choosing a conductor for use in an electronic circuit, there are several important properties that may need to be considered. The wire thickness and resistivity determines the current carrying ...

In the race for ever-improving technology, there are two related technical capabilities that drive our world forward: speed and size. These are related, as the smaller a device is, the less distance ...

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 ...

Various switchmode power supply topologies use inductors for energy storage. The photos, below, show examples of an unshielded (left) and shielded (right) power inductor. The necessary inductance ...

From powertrain and engine control to driver safety and comfort, power inductors and transformers play a vital role in a broad range of automotive functions. With the adoption of electric vehicles ...
