One of the seemingly most difficult aspects of power electronics is how to design power inductors and transformers. This specialty is often reserved for magnetics experts while electronics engineers ...

Experienced SwitchMode Power Supply designers know that SMPS success or failure depends heavily on the proper design and implementation of the magnetic components. Parasitic elements inherent in high ...

Researchers have done the first theoretical determination of the dominant damping mechanism that settles down excited magnetic states in some key metals. Their results point to more efficient methods ...

Early in the planning process of a magnetic component, designers select a core, which drives all of the component variables. The core then becomes an element in a series of calculations and is used to ...

This iteration of Electronic Design: Now and Then was inspired when I was reading "Using Magnetic Cores in Computers" from our archives. This article was originally published in Electronic Design ...

Magnetic-bearings, which support shafts with magnetic levitation rather than mechanical contact, have been in industrial use for decades. Magnetic bearings offer a host of advantages to users, ...
