Where does MCOIL fit in the evolution of DC-DC power supplies? TTI Inc. has sponsored this post. (Image: TAIYO YUDEN.) DC-DC power supplies have come a long way. Earlier designs were built with large, ...

Mobile-phone chargers and other devices could become much smaller after an all-RIKEN team of physicists successfully shrunk an electrical component known as an inductor to microscale dimensions using ...

An inductor is a passive electronic component that temporarily stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through the inductor's coil. In its simplest form, an inductor consists of ...

Question: How do you measure inductor current? Answer: Switched-mode power supplies commonly use inductors to temporarily store energy. In the evaluation of these power supplies, it’s often useful to ...
