How exactly is the correct inductance value chosen? Frederik Dostal looks at the considerations and what happens when selecting a current ripple that’s too high or too low. A switching regulator ...

Specify current ripple ratio to optimize a power supply , relying on extrapolation rather than intuition to choose the right off-the-shelf inductor for your application. Sanjaya Maniktala, National ...

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 ...

Advanced semiconductor technology allows an increasing number of transistors to be integrated onto ever-smaller silicon chips. This increases the power density, however, and presents power-management ...

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

The choice between a flyback or single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) topology often ends with the designer choosing the most familiar one, but that’s not always the right option, say John ...

San Diego, July 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pulse continues to expand our portfolio of inductors used to power processors, memory, FPGAs and ASICs in servers, datacenters and storage systems. Our ...

[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 ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. VSH is leaving no stone unturned to expand the passive electronic components portfolio by focusing on inductor offerings. The unveiling of IHXL-1500VZ-51, a through-hole ...

A comprehensive understanding of switching regulator noise is important when designing a low noise switching regulator, says Leo Liu. Generally, traditional switching regulators are considered noisy ...
