A spiral inductor and its simplified equivalent circuit. Could the inductor be redesigned in a fundamentally new way? Yes, according to new work by researchers in the US, Japan and China who have made ...

In the case of inductor coils there exist a handful of ways they can generate unwanted noise. First among these being mutual coupling or "crosstalk" as perhaps it is better known. Before proceeding, ...

The classic way inductors work is one of the simplest designs possible: a simple coil of wire. When you pass a current through a loop or coil of wire, it creates a magnetic field through the center.

Selecting an off-the-shelf inductor with correct inductance value for a switching regulator is no simple process. Here's a guide that simplifies this process.

An inductor's apparent inductance varies with the measurement method and frequency. William Hays, BH Electronics, Inc., Marshall, Minn. Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through ...
