Creating a basic inductor on a substrate sounds easy—just metallize the substrate, preferably with a spiral, serpentine, or other pattern. While traditional microchip inductors are relatively large 2D ...

This article presents some notes on thermal aging in inductor cores. The article also presents the causes and problems of thermal aging as well as presentation of Coilcraft’s materials of which ...

Power architectures with nonisolated voltage regulation continue to evolve, and power inductor designs are fundamental to the success of the new product designs. The trend toward two-stage conversion ...

We report a fabrication technology for 3D air-core inductors for small footprint and very-high-frequency power conversions. Our process is scalable and highly generic for fabricating inductors with a ...

When choosing a conductor for use in an electronic circuit, there are several important properties that may need to be considered. The wire thickness and resistivity determines the current carrying ...
