This application note describes the reasons why working voltage ratings are not usually indicated in datasheets. It briefly defines voltage rating, calculation, and the test methods to determine the ...
Inductors have the exact opposite characteristics of capacitors. Inductors store energy in a magnetic field (produced by the current through wire), whereas capacitors store energy in an electric field ...
A buck inductor is nothing more than a wound inductor normally used in switchmode power applications to step a dc voltage source down to a lower level. However, it's just a little more complex than ...
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 ...
