When designers think of passive components, they think of manufacturing tolerances for inductors and capacitors that are typically ± 20% or ± 10%. That's okay in theory, but not when these components ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

When designing or optimizing a VRM (voltage Regulation Module), we need its output impedance data and impedance data for the filter inductors and capacitors for us to have complete simulation models.

This application note discusses bypass capacitor and introduces its properties and applications. Bypass capacitors are applied between the power supply pins VCC and GND of integrated circuits. They ...

The three-dimensional (3D) additive printing process has attracted great interest in the field of rapid prototyping for a variety of applications due to its flexibility in geometrical designs and ...

Giovanni D’Amore discusses approaches to characterising both dielectric and magnetic materials using impedance analysers and specialist fixtures. We are used to thinking about technological progress ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

There have been many articles describing the use of multiphase buck converters, especially for high-performance point-of-load applications. However, all the advantages of interleaving, such as higher ...

Do Better Parts Matter in Loudspeaker Crossovers? Have you ever wondered how the tweeter and woofer have their responses combined in a speaker system, or what the crossover network is and how it works ...
