TDK Corporation presents the EPCOS E13EMHV series of compact SMD transformers with high dielectric strength for a wide range of DC-DC converter topologies. The isolation distances comply with IEC 60664-1, 61558-2-16 standard, achieving a high working voltage of 1000 V DC. Transient overvoltages of up to 2500 Vpeak are permitted. The high dielectric strength between the Read the original post TDK Presents Compact SMD Transformers...
This article written by Jeff Shepard discusses brief background on wire-wound inductors and then digs into the cost and application trade-offs associated with multilayer SMD thin and thick film inductors, flat inductors (including Litz wire with a rectangular cross-section), and foil inductors. Wire wound structures are the most common, but far from only, way to Read the original post Common Inductor Technologies Explained on...
This technical blog article written by Sudhama Dharmappa, KYOCERA-AVX Components Corporation, discusses ESD surge protection of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) by miniature multilayer varistors (MLV). Understanding ADAS Driver Assistance Systems Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have been used to enhance vehicle safety and performance long before the pursuit of self-driving cars. Since the moment electronic sensors Read the original post ADAS Surge Protection by Miniature...
This article provides an overview of most common resistor technology and its selection guide. Resistance is one of the most basic concepts in electricity and electronics. And resistors are simple-looking devices. Given their apparent simplicity, the range of resistor types and their capabilities can be surprising. This article looks at some common resistor types and Read the original post Resistor Technology Selection Guide on...
