PCB inductors are a subject that has appeared here at Hackaday many times, perhaps most notably in the electromagnetic exploits of [Carl Bugeja]. But there is still much to be learned in the creation ...

It’s a story we’ve told dozens of times already. The cost to manufacture a handful of circuit boards has fallen drastically over the last decade and a half, which has allowed some interesting ...

Semiconductor manufacturers have developed innovative production techniques that enable the integration of multiple components and a dc-dc converter IC die into a single module. Producing such a dc-dc ...

High efficiency, high density and low production costs drive the continual development of DC/DC converters for an increasingly wide range of power supply applications for automotive, industrial, ...

All eyes are on commercial space companies in the wake of the latest setback for Russia’s space programme, which has delayed the launch of the next crew to the International Space Station. A recent ...

Murata has introduced the LQW32FT series of inductors for use in automotive Power Over Coax (PoC) circuits. The inductors maintain stable operation, save on PCB space and reduce component count and ...

While the art of designing efficient and compact DC/DC converters is practiced by a select group of engineers, IC designers often escape dealing with the dreaded topic of heat - a job that usually ...

For RF inductor selection, José Martos and Heinz Zenkner stress the importance of evaluating inductance, natural resonant frequency, quality, DC resistance and rated current for high-frequency ...
