Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...

Using a previously derived circuit model, coupled inductor designs can be optimized for best performance in multiphase power converters. Any inductor or transformer with multiple windings is a coupled ...

ALPS Green Devices has developed the “GLCLK Series” and “GLCLM Series” Liqualloy Power Inductors, suitable for power supply circuits of displays for smartphones and other compact mobile devices, such ...

Passive circuits for power factor correction (PFC) are simple, reliable, robust, and they don't generate EMI [1-4]. Plus, they offer a low-cost alternative for complying with harmonic current limit ...

Researchers have identified a new circuit element known as a meminductor. Dr. H. Rusty Harris, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, has ...

It’s a story we’ve told dozens of times already. The cost to manufacture a handful of circuit boards has fallen drastically over the last decade and a half, which has allowed some interesting ...

With their ability to resist changes in current, inductors are one of the basic but fundamental components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time. This tutorial provides an ...

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 ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...
