Power architectures with nonisolated voltage regulation continue to evolve, and power inductor designs are fundamental to the success of the new product designs. The trend toward two-stage conversion ...

“Drum core” is used to describe the shape of the ferrite core used in some power inductors, and it differentiates these inductors from other types such as toroidal, power bead, flat coil, or planar.

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, ...

Vista, Calif. — ACME Electronics Corp. recently developed a new manganese-zinc ferrite material designed to reduce power losses in high-temperature power applications. The new material can also help ...
