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 ...

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 ...

Recently I had the privilege of dissecting the Half Bridge LLC circuit. I thought that this would make for a good series of blogs starting with the basics and working forward. I will say that it took ...

A battery alone may not be capable of supplying complex systems with all the voltage rails necessary to function properly. Applications such as automotive LED drivers, audio amplifiers, and ...

While DC/DC conversion circuitry has matured to the point that there are “cookbook” design aids as well as software to help, selecting the right power inductor is a critical aspect of converter design ...

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 ...
