[Kalle] tipped us about a quick project he made over a couple of evenings: an inductor saturation current tester. All the components used for it were salvaged from a beefy telecom power supply, which ...

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 ...

A basic building block of modern technology, inductors are everywhere: cellphones, laptops, radios, televisions, cars. And surprisingly, they are essentially the same today as in 1831, when they were ...

This application note covers the steps required in choosing the inductor and to calculate the value used in buck regulator IC circuits. Switching regulators are used in a variety of applications to ...

A low-current, negative high-voltage is required to bias sensors in advanced driver assistance systems, ultrasonic transducers for sonar applications, and communications equipment. Flyback, Cuk, and ...
