When reality intrudes on component models and equivalent circuits

March 12, 2023 By Bill Schweber

Determining the utility of an equivalent-circuit model versus construction reality is often a difficult challenge. Using simplified, first-order approximations in models and equivalent circuits is a normal part of engineering life. Without them, we would get mired in the details and harsh reality of the components and their characteristics. We would never be able to […]

How do you make inductors with films, foils, and flat wires?

August 19, 2022 By Jeff Shepard

Wire wound structures are the most common, but far from only, way to make inductors for audio, power conversion, radio frequency (RF), and other applications. Inductors are key components in various circuits, and designers need to fully understand available options. This FAQ starts with a brief background on wirewound inductors and then digs into the […]

Ultraminiature multilayer ceramic chip inductors work up to 10 GHz

March 30, 2021 By Redding Traiger

AVX Corporation released a new series of ultraminiature multilayer ceramic chip inductors for high-frequency RF applications. The new LCCI Series inductors are currently available in three standard EIA chip sizes — 0201, 0402, and 0603 — with tight-tolerance physical dimensions almost exclusively in the submillimeter range and tin-plated surface-mount terminations, enabling compatibility with high-density PCBs […]
