Soft magnetic materials (materials that can easily be magnetized) come in many forms. For switchmode power supply flyback transformers and chokes, we would consider gapped ferrites, Iron powder, ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...
