As Lenz’s Law states, an inductor in a circuit opposes the flow of current through it because the flow induces an electromotive force (emf) that opposes it. In order to keep the current flowing ...

This video/article is part of Dostal's Designs series in Ideas for Design and the TechXchange: Power Supply Design. You can also post a question. Members can download ...

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 ...

Inductors, like any electronic components, can also be connected in series. Based on the fact that no mutual inductance or magnetic coupling exists between the individual inductors, certain rules will ...

We report a fabrication technology for 3D air-core inductors for small footprint and very-high-frequency power conversions. Our process is scalable and highly generic for fabricating inductors with a ...
