If you are casually listening to the radio, you probably tune into a local station and with modern receivers and FM modulation, the sound quality is good. But if you are trying to listen to distant or ...

It's always a good thing to eliminate manual winding on a pc board. You can do so with the AVX low-profile E-Core series, which mounts on the board and lets you use board tracks for windings of ...

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 ...

This has been a year of new creative projects for me. In addition to some personal endeavors that have yet to see the light of day, I joined Federico as the co-host of Adapt, a new iPad-focused ...

Flyback transformers are designed with all types of cores. Ferrite cores have several advantages such as ease of winding on a bobbin with integral terminal pins, better options for winding design ...

One of the best tools in the engineer’s lightning protection toolbox is a tried, true and frequently underutilized friend, the ferrite toroid. The principle is quite simple. If you have two (or more) ...
