Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...

As a follow-up to my previous blog, Integration Choices: Analog Filters vs. Digital Filters, the next step would be to discuss how to integrate filters into the IC itself. What techniques and ...

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 ...

Almost all semiconductor products are sensitive to light, but this feature has been especially optimized for photodetectors (photodiodes and phototransistors). These are employed to sense or measure ...

Mains-connected boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits are employed in order to meet EMI standards. The EMI filter together with the boost inductor has to attenuate the High Frequency (HF) ...

Inductors are considered to be passives that are playing a major role in the electronics industry especially in the analog circuits and signal processing field. These aren’t just simple coils for ...

A tuned circuit formed by a capacitor and an inductor is a familiar enough circuit, and it’s understood that it will resonate at a particular frequency. As that frequency increases, so the size of the ...

Using EMI filters to counter strong electromagnetic waves and unwanted electric currents induced in a circuit.

OBJECTIVE: You will wind (and test) your own inductor, which you will also use in the AM radio project in a subsequent lab. You will also investigate the properties of capacitors by making a simple ...

In the race for ever-improving technology, there are two related technical capabilities that drive our world forward: speed and size. These are related, as the smaller a device is, the less distance ...
