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 ...

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...

Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

The power supply voltage requirements in smartphones and tablets are growing due to a constant increase in functionality. And that is leading to a rise in the number of inductors in power supply ...

This video provides a clear explanation of inductors and their role in electronic circuits. Inductors are passive components that store energy in a magnetic field and resist changes in current. The ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

This video explains the function of inductors and how they store energy in a magnetic field when current flows through them. Inductors are essential passive components used to manage current changes ...

TDK has created a SMD inductor particularly for the bias-tee (bias-T) circuits used to split RF signals and dc power from, or combine them onto, a single line. “The component achieves an inductance of ...
