The basic principle behind the circuit shown above is to load an inductor for repetitive short periods and visualizing the current curve with an oscilloscope connected to a sense resistor.

Looking at figures 1 and 2, we see that inductor-based SRs require 4 pins (VIN, VOUT, VX, and GND) as the inductorless SRs require 3 to 7 pins (VIN, VOUT, Cf11, Cf12, Cf21, Cf22, and GND), depending ...

Inductor The inductor – also called as a coil, choke or reactor – is a passive two-terminal electrical component. Its main purpose is to slow down current surges or spikes by temporarily storing ...

Radio amateurs often have a love-hate relationship with home-made inductors, sharing all kinds of tips and tricks as to how the most stable nanohenry inductor can be wound. But there’s another ...

The Model SRP-F Shielded Power Inductor Series is available now ... several print and online engineering publications. Lee’s current focus is power electronics, especially the technologies ...
