DigiTimes report commodity low end MLCC ceramic capacitors and chip resistor inventory rising based on its survey of Taiwan passive components manufacturers. Passive component makers have seen their commodity MLCC and chip resistor inventory swell since the second half of this year, as a result of sluggish demand for consumer electronics products, and they are eyeing automotive Read the original post Low-End MLCC and Resistors Inventory...

TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of the new MLJ1608WG series of multilayer inductors. These compact SMD inductors are targeted at use in automotive Power over Coax (PoC) implementations. Mass production began in August 2022. The MLJ1608WG Series inductors achieve a maximum impedance of 2500 Ω. They also retain impedance levels of 1000Ω over a Read the original post TDK Introduces Advanced Multilayer Inductors...

prof. Sam Ben-Yaakov in his video explains fractional and half turn transformer. Why small number of turns ? lower leakage smaller inter-capacitance smaller conduction losses help to adjust core to copper loss ratio Related post: Transformer Calculation, Losses and Applications Read the original post Half Turn Transformer Explanation on Passive Components Blog.
