Inductors are deceptively simple. However, a closer look reveals underlying complexity. How else can you explain the many types of core materials, types of windings, sizes, geometries and wide range ...

Wound-toroid inductors have been the mainstay for desktop core voltage regulators (V CORE) for years. Historically, the bulky size, sloppy tolerances and high power losses of these inductors were not ...

Constrained by battery capacity, notebook manufacturers seek more efficient as well as lower-priced components for their designs. Active and passive devices used on VRMs (voltage regulator modules) ...

Core loss in inductors can adversely affect system performance. Yet, predicting core loss is a complicated endeavor, especially in complex structures such as coupled inductors. This article examines ...
