This application note covers the steps required in choosing the inductor and to calculate the value used in buck regulator IC circuits. Switching regulators are used in a variety of applications to ...

Accurately predicting core losses in magnetic components is difficult, and no less challenging in composite inductors. Several core loss models are available, all of which have their merits. This ...

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 ...

Excessive use of electricity and poor efficiencies are no longer acceptable. Eliminating poor power factor will result in increasing electrical efficiencies and will reduce the overall use of ...

Using circuit simulating software like SPICE can be a powerful tool for modeling the behavior of a circuit in the real world. On the other hand, it’s not always necessary to have all of the features ...
