Semiconductor manufacturers have developed innovative production techniques that enable the integration of multiple components and a dc-dc converter IC die into a single module. Producing such a dc-dc ...

Question: Where Should the Coil Go? Answer: Switching regulators for voltage conversion use inductors for temporarily storing energy. These inductors are often very large components and must be ...

Surface mount power inductors are used to store energy while also filtering EMI currents with a low-loss inductance for voltage conversion applications. They are also used in DC-to-DC converters for a ...

Why the power-delivery network is critical in modern power electronics. How integrated voltage regulators can improve the PDN and simplify the PCB design. How IVRs improve power delivery to processors ...

Murata has introduced the LQW32FT series of inductors for use in automotive Power Over Coax (PoC) circuits. The inductors maintain stable operation, save on PCB space and reduce component count and ...

While the art of designing efficient and compact DC/DC converters is practiced by a select group of engineers, IC designers often escape dealing with the dreaded topic of heat - a job that usually ...

It’s a story we’ve told dozens of times already. The cost to manufacture a handful of circuit boards has fallen drastically over the last decade and a half, which has allowed some interesting ...

Infineon has brought out  a high‑current‑density quad‑phase power module with TLVR (trans‑inductor voltage regulator) ...

All eyes are on commercial space companies in the wake of the latest setback for Russia’s space programme, which has delayed the launch of the next crew to the International Space Station. A recent ...
