Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

Inductors are a basic component of modern electrical circuits, and they are used in a wide range of applications including information processing, wireless circuits and chargers for mobile devices.

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

Could the inductor be redesigned in a fundamentally new way? Yes, according to new work by researchers in the US, Japan and China who have made the first high-performance inductors from intercalated ...

One of the fundamental components of electrical circuits is the inductor, which provides inductance (opposition to changes in electric current). Conventional inductors consist of a coil of wire ...

A coil with 10 loops, a diameter of 1 cm, and a wire diameter of 1 mm that is in air has an approximate inductance of 1.5 uH. If the core material used for the coil is changed to a ferrite material ...

The Microtest Group has launched two turnkey platforms for power device characterization: Quasar 200 and Pulsar 600. These ...

For chips designed at advanced technology nodes, interconnect is the dominant contributor towards delay, power consumption, and reliability. Major interconnects such as clock trees, power distribution ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

Don Tuite's "Best" analog/mixed-signal product of 2013 is a 24-bit, repeatable, precision linear and rotary position sensor devices that has so many uses it should be adopted by the Swiss Army. Don’t ...

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 ...
