This application note presents the types of core materials used in power inductors. It also briefly discusses the core saturation, core loss, as well as the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). This ...

Munich, Germany—EPCOS has developed two ferrite materials with enhanced properties that make them suitable for the power-range typical of switch-mode power supplies and current meters. The EPCOS ...

TDK has introduced ferrite ‘E’ cores up to 40 x 80 x 160mm for industrial applications such as motor drives. The largest one is made from N87 ferrite, while most of the rest also come in N88 or N97.

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 ...

Design engineers are constantly faced with the challenge of specifying a transformer that will meet design specifications as well as cost constraints. The designer who draws up the circuit ...
