The new product is approximately 49% smaller than our previous product, the "LACNF2012KKT1R0MAB" (2.0 x 1.25 x 1.0 mm), and ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

In the race for ever-improving technology, there are two related technical capabilities that drive our world forward: speed and size. These are related, as the smaller a device is, the less distance ...

Inductors are not the most common component these days and variable ones seem even less common. However, with a ferrite rod and some 3D printing, [drjaynes] shows how to make your own variable ...

For decades, power-supply designers have set their inductor ripple current to somewhere between 20% and 40% of their power supply’s full rated output current. This is considered a good starting point ...

As a fledgling electronics buff I gathered together the usual hodgepodge of spare parts, old TV's and all the other electrical odds and ends that youngsters bitten by that particular bug seems to ...

The 555 multivibrator circuit has become a default choice of many hobbyists and even professionals in the past 50 years. Its pair of equations for frequency and duty cycle easily gives ...

Could the inductor be redesigned in a fundamentally new way? Yes, according to new work by researchers in the US, Japan and China who have made the first high-performance inductors from intercalated ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. A switch-mode power supply incurs loss in many areas of its circuitry, including the MOSFETs, input and output capacitors, quiescent controller current ...

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 ...
