TDK Corporation has expanded its TFM201612BLEA series of thin-film power inductors for automotive power circuits to support ...

What happens when you connect a charged capacitor to an inductor? You get an oscillating circuit. Here's how it all works.

An astable 555 multivibrator circuit, where the timing characteristics are determined by the interplay of an inductor, resistor, and diode.

Input current for a passive PFC circuit is insensitive to changes in the output ripple - so it requires a smaller inductance than previous circuits.

This soft-switching increases the power-stage efficiency while using inexpensive silicon diodes. The primary disadvantage of the BCM converter is the high ripple current carried by the boost inductor, ...

The ubiquitous diode—though you likely have a good understanding of this device, this primer of sorts acts as a quick-read guide, highlighting many of the essentials you need ...

The first LED points forwards and the second diode is reversed. Easy enough. For the third LED, [Alan] used high frequency AC with an inductor wired in parallel with the LED and the third switch.

At some very high frequency, the inductor’s effective resistance will be so high, the circuit might as well be an open circuit. In between, the resistance will increase with frequency.

Turn broken electronics into hands-on lessons. Master soldering while embracing the DIY mindset of learning by doing.

PLANO, Texas-- (BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today announces the expansion of its automotive-compliant* LED driver portfolio by introducing the AL8866Q. This DC ...
