When designers think of passive components, they think of manufacturing tolerances for inductors and capacitors that are typically ± 20% or ± 10%. That's okay in theory, but not when these components ...

As the form factor of wireless handsets, PDAs, and other portable electronics continues to shrink while their complexity level continues to grow, design engineers face an increasing number of problems ...

Inductors designed with active elements are very desirable to designers today because conventional spiral inductors are too big, too heavy, and too costly, and they require tuning. During the last few ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

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 ...

Giovanni D’Amore discusses approaches to characterising both dielectric and magnetic materials using impedance analysers and specialist fixtures. We are used to thinking about technological progress ...

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

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...
