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 ...

Over the past year, power inductor manufacturers have been tackling some of the biggest challenges in high-temperature applications, particularly automotive. Many of the newest products are making ...

Wound-toroid inductors have been the mainstay for desktop core voltage regulators (V CORE) for years. Historically, the bulky size, sloppy tolerances and high power losses of these inductors were not ...

A new shielded shaped core power inductor has been designed for use in voltage regulator module (VRM) applications in computer desktops, portables, workstations, and servers. The PA0513 inductor has ...
