Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...

Examine a traditional Hartley oscillator circuit, and you’ll note its trademark: a tapped inductor that determines the frequency of oscillation and provides oscillation-sustaining feedback. Although ...

Using a previously derived circuit model, coupled inductor designs can be optimized for best performance in multiphase power converters. Any inductor or transformer with multiple windings is a coupled ...

The ITC series integrates the major components found in a typical Data Access Arrangement (DAA), in a 16 lead SOIC package. As highlighted in Figure 1, the 1-Form-A MOSFET SSR, Darlington transistor, ...

For RF inductor selection, José Martos and Heinz Zenkner stress the importance of evaluating inductance, natural resonant frequency, quality, DC resistance and rated current for high-frequency ...

Passive circuits for power factor correction (PFC) are simple, reliable, robust, and they don't generate EMI [1-4]. Plus, they offer a low-cost alternative for complying with harmonic current limit ...

Researchers have identified a new circuit element known as a meminductor. Dr. H. Rusty Harris, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, has ...

It’s a story we’ve told dozens of times already. The cost to manufacture a handful of circuit boards has fallen drastically over the last decade and a half, which has allowed some interesting ...
