When both of the inductor terminals are respectively connected to each terminal of the other inductor or inductors, they are said to be in parallel connection. The total inductance is less than any ...

Inductors, like any electronic components, can also be connected in series. Based on the fact that no mutual inductance or magnetic coupling exists between the individual inductors, certain rules will ...

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 ...

Inductors are deceptively simple. However, a closer look reveals underlying complexity. How else can you explain the many types of core materials, types of windings, sizes, geometries and wide range ...

We report a fabrication technology for 3D air-core inductors for small footprint and very-high-frequency power conversions. Our process is scalable and highly generic for fabricating inductors with a ...
