Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...

Examine a traditional Hartley oscillator circuit, and you’ll note its trademark: a tapped inductor that determines the frequency of oscillation and provides oscillation-sustaining feedback. Although ...

Using a previously derived circuit model, coupled inductor designs can be optimized for best performance in multiphase power converters. Any inductor or transformer with multiple windings is a coupled ...

The ITC series integrates the major components found in a typical Data Access Arrangement (DAA), in a 16 lead SOIC package. As highlighted in Figure 1, the 1-Form-A MOSFET SSR, Darlington transistor, ...

Researchers have identified a new circuit element known as a meminductor. Dr. H. Rusty Harris, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, has ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...
