Electrical ratings are interdependent. The current through a component depends on the applied voltage (waveform and duty cycle) and the component impedance. The impedance of a component depends on the ...

Used in applications ranging from RF to power supply filters, inductors are magnetic elements with resistance and capacitance parasitics. Inductors rely on the magnetic field that forms around a ...

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 ...
