Electrical ratings are interdependent. The current through a component depends on the applied voltage (waveform and duty cycle) and the component impedance. The impedance of a component depends on the ...

[Kalle] tipped us about a quick project he made over a couple of evenings: an inductor saturation current tester. All the components used for it were salvaged from a beefy telecom power supply, which ...

This video/article is part of Dostal's Designs series in Ideas for Design and the TechXchange: Power Supply Design. You can also post a question. Members can download ...

Specify current ripple ratio to optimize a power supply , relying on extrapolation rather than intuition to choose the right off-the-shelf inductor for your application. An inductor is designed for ...
