Passive circuits for power factor correction (PFC) are simple, reliable, robust, and they don't generate EMI [1-4]. Plus, they offer a low-cost alternative for complying with harmonic current limit ...

Using a previously derived circuit model, coupled inductor designs can be optimized for best performance in multiphase power converters. Any inductor or transformer with multiple windings is a coupled ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

With their ability to resist changes in current, inductors are one of the basic but fundamental components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time. This tutorial provides an ...

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

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 project from a few years back is an interesting take on a metal detector. Instead of building a detection circuit, [Bruno Gavand] replaced the external clock crystal with an inductor. Here you ...

The new product is approximately 49% smaller than our previous product, the "LACNF2012KKT1R0MAB" (2.0 x 1.25 x 1.0 mm), and can contribute to the miniaturization and higher performance of power supply ...
