An inductor's apparent inductance varies with the measurement method and frequency. William Hays, BH Electronics, Inc., Marshall, Minn. Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through ...

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 ...

Inductors and transformers serve key roles in switch-mode power supplies. Ensuring they perform as expected requires thorough in-circuit measurements performed under operating conditions. Here’s what ...

If you are a novice electronic constructor, you will become familiar with common electronic components. Resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, LEDs, integrated circuits. These are the fodder for ...

ALPS Green Devices has developed the “GLCLK Series” and “GLCLM Series” Liqualloy Power Inductors, suitable for power supply circuits of displays for smartphones and other compact mobile devices, such ...

Few electronics design areas benefit as much from the use of inductive components as the avionics industry, yet many people feel uncomfortable using these parts, or fail to see their true value.

Fullterton, Calif. – TT Electronics' BI Technologies Magnetic Components division has launched a series of surface-mount, micropower inductors for use in portable products and other applications where ...

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 ...

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 ...
