Green energy applications such as hybrid vehicles, wind energy, and solar energy stand to reap big benefits from regulated electronic power conversion common to switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

With their ability to resist changes in current, inductors are one of the basic but fundamental components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time. This tutorial provides an ...

Of the three basic passive components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—inductors are the least ideal and, therefore, the most difficult to model. The importance of a good model is that it not only ...

The availability of high-performance, passive components strongly influences the design of electronic circuits. Reactive components such as capacitors, inductors, and transformers are widely used for ...

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 ...
