I was involved with high-voltage power supplies in which transformers were wound using 3019-sized ferrite cores. Transformer structures were essentially the following: Figure 1 Pot core based ...

It's always a good thing to eliminate manual winding on a pc board. You can do so with the AVX low-profile E-Core series, which mounts on the board and lets you use board tracks for windings of ...

If you are casually listening to the radio, you probably tune into a local station and with modern receivers and FM modulation, the sound quality is good. But if you are trying to listen to distant or ...

Power architectures with nonisolated voltage regulation continue to evolve, and power inductor designs are fundamental to the success of the new product designs. The trend toward two-stage conversion ...

TDK has introduced ferrite ‘E’ cores up to 40 x 80 x 160mm for industrial applications such as motor drives. The largest one is made from N87 ferrite, while most of the rest also come in N88 or N97.

If you want read-only memory today, you might be tempted to use flash memory or, if you want old-school, maybe an EPROM. But there was a time when that wasn’t feasible. [Igor Brichkov] shows us how to ...

Design engineers are constantly faced with the challenge of specifying a transformer that will meet design specifications as well as cost constraints. The designer who draws up the circuit ...
