John Gallagher from Pulse Electronics recently spoke with us about some of the things design engineers and circuit designers need to know when they’re working with a company that makes transformers and inductors. He says a lot of circuit designers look at transformers as ideal transformers –there’s just a certain number of turns in the […]

Special challenges of using inductors in wide-bandgap semiconductor circuits
Dave Munguia from Pulse Electronics recently explained to us that when you’re working with gallium-nitride transistors and other wide-bandgap semiconductors, there are special challenges associated with inductors. Pulse Electronics addressed the issue in a paper they delivered at APEC 2019. Munguia says they picked five different constructions of inductors from the catalogs of different manufacturers. […]
High-current, low-profile SMT inductors
Pulse Electronics introduces a new series of high current, low profile SMT inductors. These products offer the highest energy storage density of any inductor on the market. The inductors have high current (>40Apk) and low profile (2.1mm to 5.0mm) features, and they offer soft saturation, no thermal aging, and industry standard footprints. The new composite core […]
