Power electronics are rapidly expanding into new applications as high-power semiconductor devices increase their rated operating current and frequencies to higher and higher levels. As a basic ...

Core loss in inductors can adversely affect system performance. Yet, predicting core loss is a complicated endeavor, especially in complex structures such as coupled inductors. This article examines ...

Have you ever powered up a buck regulator, tested it at full power, then have a permanent reminder left when you perform the inductor finger-tip temperature test? Maybe, excessive core losses and ac ...

Designing a buck regulator for low-power, high-frequency operations demands special attention to inductor requirements and measurement of data that's not available on the data sheet. Inductor ...
