Design engineers that are in the know are taking advantage of advances in magnetic component design. There have been big changes in power conversion architecture in recent years, brought on by moves ...

In today's high-density switched-mode power supplies, transformers and inductors are the main contributors to their size, weight and volume. Magnetic integration is a solution where two or more ...

For RF inductor selection, José Martos and Heinz Zenkner stress the importance of evaluating inductance, natural resonant frequency, quality, DC resistance and rated current for high-frequency ...

Green energy applications such as hybrid vehicles, wind energy, and solar energy stand to reap big benefits from regulated electronic power conversion common to switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).
