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 ...

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 ...

Inductors are a basic component of modern electrical circuits, and they are used in a wide range of applications including information processing, wireless circuits and chargers for mobile devices.

Question: Where Should the Coil Go? Answer: Switching regulators for voltage conversion use inductors for temporarily storing energy. These inductors are often very large components and must be ...

Why Coils Resist Change. The less often used of the passive components, the humble and mysterious inductor is the subject of ...

Excessive use of electricity and poor efficiencies are no longer acceptable. Eliminating poor power factor will result in increasing electrical efficiencies and will reduce the overall use of ...

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 ...

Chaotic circuits can arise from either computed (using Analog Computers or Digital Computers) solutions to coupled differential equations or from unstable systems/circuits. A new open-source circuit ...
