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 Power Tip #3, we discussed how the source impedance of an input filter can turn resistive, and how it can interact with the negative input impedance of a switching regulator. At worst case, these ...
Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...
This “Rarely Asked Questions” blog post presents an optimal way to measure inductor current, opening a window into whether the right inductor was selected. Answer: Switched-mode power supplies ...
