Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

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 ...

A charge pump is a type of switch-mode power-supply (SMPS) circuit that’s used as a dc-dc converter or regulator with appropriate feedback control. The charge pump is often overlooked when considering ...
