What makes inductors so important?

Inductors play a key role in controlling current and storing energy in electronic circuits. This video explains how they use magnetic fields to stabilize power and improve circuit performance. A ...
Inductors control electric current by using magnetic fields to resist sudden changes. This video explains how a simple coil can manage current flow and stabilize circuits in many electronic devices. A ...
Green energy applications such as hybrid vehicles, wind energy, and solar energy stand to reap big benefits from regulated electronic power conversion common to switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).
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 ...
As ferrite technology has progressed into a mastery of magnetic permeability, the size of inductors has gone down to the point at which they are now fairly nondescript components. There was a time ...
TDK has created inductors for automotive power-over-coax applications up to 1.6A. The three parts are an expansion of the 4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2mm ADL4532VK series, and are rated for use across -55 to +155°C ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign have devised a method of combining capacitors and inductors in a tiny, 3D rolled membrane. This will save space in the electronic filters ...
