This application note presents the types of core materials used in power inductors. It also briefly discusses the core saturation, core loss, as well as the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). This ...

TDK has introduced ferrite ‘E’ cores up to 40 x 80 x 160mm for industrial applications such as motor drives. The largest one is made from N87 ferrite, while most of the rest also come in N88 or N97.

Flyback transformers are designed with all types of cores. Ferrite cores have several advantages such as ease of winding on a bobbin with integral terminal pins, better options for winding design ...

Power architectures with nonisolated voltage regulation continue to evolve, and power inductor designs are fundamental to the success of the new product designs. The trend toward two-stage conversion ...
