Electrical ratings are interdependent. The current through a component depends on the applied voltage (waveform and duty cycle) and the component impedance. The impedance of a component depends on the ...

This video/article is part of Dostal's Designs series in Ideas for Design and the TechXchange: Power Supply Design. You can also post a question. Members can download ...

The first step to reducing the energy consumption of your home is figuring out how much you actually use in the first place. After all, you need a baseline to compare against when you start making ...

Until recently, cost and the ability of a part to function in an application have driven the choice of inductors in desktop-computing systems' processor-voltage regulators. Designers have not been ...

[Kalle] tipped us about a quick project he made over a couple of evenings: an inductor saturation current tester. All the components used for it were salvaged from a beefy telecom power supply, which ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. As the demand increases for higher-current, low-voltage multiphase synchronous buck converters, a method for sensing current without the penalty of ...

Mathieu Renaud, Senior Power Management Designer, Intégration Dolphin Inc. Yves Gagnon, Executive Director, Intégration Dolphin Inc. Inductor-based Switching Regulators (SR) have historically ...

A basic building block of modern technology, inductors are everywhere: cellphones, laptops, radios, televisions, cars. And surprisingly, they are essentially the same today as in 1831, when they were ...
