Engineering consultant Frank Hertel outlines a method of measuring an inductor’s value using only an oscilloscope and a signal or function generator.

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

A trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) modifies the conventional multiphase buck converter, accelerating the converter’s output current slew-rate speed capabilities to approach the fast load slew ...

Inductors, like any electronic components, can also be connected in series. Based on the fact that no mutual inductance or magnetic coupling exists between the individual inductors, certain rules will ...
