Can power density scale without increasing footprint? A new inductor design combines high current handling with compact size ...

Of the three basic passive components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—inductors are the least ideal and, therefore, the most difficult to model. The importance of a good model is that it not only ...

How hard can it be to create your own inductors? Get a wire. Coil it up. Right? Well, the devil is definitely in the details, and [Nick] wants to share his ten tips for building “the perfect” inductor ...

Simulation and modeling of radio-frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) inductors is a difficult task, where several common problems and pitfalls are possible. There are critical issues that must be ...

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

Could the inductor be redesigned in a fundamentally new way? Yes, according to new work by researchers in the US, Japan and China who have made the first high-performance inductors from intercalated ...

Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...

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 ...

Smaller is better when it comes to microchips, researchers said, and by using 3D components on a standardized 2D microchip manufacturing platform, developers can use up to 100 times less chip space. A ...
