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 ...

Vista, Calif. — ACME Electronics Corp. has expanded its line of manganese-zinc (Mn-Zn) ferrite materials with the introduction of its new P51 material that is offered in a selection of core shapes for ...

TDK has introduced ferrite ‘E’ cores up to 40 x 80 x 160mm for industrial applications such as motor drives. The largest one is made from N87 ferrite, while most of the rest also come in N88 or N97.

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 ...

Have you ever noticed the small, plastic-encased cylinder near the end of your laptop charger? Known as a ferrite bead, this ...
