BY LEN CRANE, Director of Technical Marketing Coilcraft, Inc. www.coilcraft.com Courtesy of www.electronicproducts.com While DC/DC conversion circuitry has matured to the point that there are “cookbook” design aids as well as software to help, selecting the right power inductor is a critical aspect of converter design. This requires a good understanding of inductor performance and of…
Courtesy of Coilcraft For Editorial Use: English Word Document Image Coilcraft Press Room Cary, IL, USA — Coilcraft announces the introduction of two new products to its line of high current, molded power inductors, both offering unique termination options. The XTL7030 Series features side metal terminations for automated optical inspection (AOI) of the component during the solder reflow process. It…
Courtesy of Coilcraft For Editorial Use: English Word Document Image Coilcraft Press Room Cary, IL, USA — Coilcraft’s new 0805HP Series ceramic wirewound chip inductors offer the industry’s highest Q factors in an 0805 size at frequencies up to 3 GHz. It is available with 23 inductance values ranging from 2.6 to 820 nH, with 2% tolerance available for…
Courtesy of Coilcraft Understanding RF Inductor Specifications RF inductor selection involves these key parameters: mounting (surface mount or through-hole), inductance value, current rating, DC resistance (DCR), self-resonant frequency (SRF), Q factor, and temperature rating. While small size is typically desired, the laws of physics limit how small an inductor can be for a given application….
Cary, IL, USA — Coilcraft has introduced its new 0201HL Series of chip inductors available in seven inductance values ranging from 22 to 51 nH, the highest currently offered in a wirewound 0201 package. This inductance range is fully optimized for impedance matching in 700 MHz LTE and 5G applications.The 0201HL Series also provides the…
Courtesy of Coilcraft Cary, IL, USA — Coilcraft’s new SRT8045 Series of magnetically shielded power inductors offer superior performance and a smaller package than previous-generation products. Measuring just 8.0 x 8.4 x 4.5 mm, the highly cost-effective SRT8045 has saturation current ratings up to 17.4 Amps and DC resistance as low as 7.7 mΩ, allowing…
Energy efficiency can be as much about the inductors as the circuit topology. In high frequency DC-DC converters, inductors filter out the AC ripple current superimposed on the DC output. Whether the converter steps the voltage down – buck – or steps the voltage up – boost – or both up and down – SEPIC,…
Cary, IL, USA — Coilcraft has launched a new suite of Power Inductor Selection Tools that allows users to easily select the appropriate path for their particular search while also providing more application-specific performance data than previously available on any industry site. Len Crane, Coilcraft’s Director of Technical Marketing, will be previewing the tool this…
For nearly a decade, Coilcraft Critical Products & Services (CPS) has designed and built critical-grade components for use in military, aerospace, medical and other harsh-environment applications where durability and reliability are of paramount importance. To meet these demands, Coilcraft CPS tests components to extremes, far exceeding performance ratings of standard commercial parts. All components are…
Cary, IL, USA – Coilcraft is introducing its new XEL60xx Family of high-current, low-loss power inductors this week at electronica 2016, being held at Messe München in Munich, Germany. The XEL60xx Family employs a new design which offers extremely low DCR (as low as 1.35 mOhms) and ultra-low AC losses at high switching frequencies (2…
