Those readers who have experimented with winding their own inductors will know that it’s not an easy task, and when those inductors are handling high voltages it can be especially tricky to maintain ...

Planar spiral inductors are less expensive than eitherchip or coil inductors for PCB (printed-circuit-board)-based designs. Accuracy in designinga spiral inductor is important because it isdifficult ...

PCB inductors are a subject that has appeared here at Hackaday many times, perhaps most notably in the electromagnetic exploits of [Carl Bugeja]. But there is still much to be learned in the creation ...

An interesting magnetic design technique used by today's power supply engineers is the blending of transformer and inductive functions of dynamic power conversion circuits on a single magnetic core ...

Planar transformers have been around for many years, and I have often wondered why they are not used more frequently. These usually SMT devices have a distinct density advantage and a high-frequency ...
