Magnetically shielded SMD power inductors for high inductances
Metal Hybrid Inductors, known as the CDMT40 series, offer more than double the inductance values of earlier introductions while maintaining the same small footprint. A newly developed composite material draws on the special qualities of two different metals in the mold structure to provide magnetic shielding, small size, and high current ratings. The CDMT40D40 also […]
Gallery: APEC 2017 — Hot markets moving cool speed ahead
A considerable segment of the products and technology at the Applied Power Electronic Conference (APEC) 2017 would have fit right in or neatly alongside a 2017 auto and telecom show. Power electronics for EV on- and off-board chargers were making headlines, as well as electronics addressing the high-speed server markets. Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium […]
SMD Isolation Transformer for Vehicle Battery Monitoring, High-Speed Modems
The Sumida ESMIT-4180/C Series Isolation Transformer is the latest entry into Sumida’s line of low-profile, surface-mounted isolation transformers. It was developed to better respond to the demands of the embedded-circuit based products, including automotive battery monitoring, high-speed modems and other circuits. As an example, the ESMIT-4180/C is included in the reference design for the NXP […]
Metal-hybrid SMD power inductors sport super-low dc resistance
The Sumida CDMT40D20 Series Power Inductors are the first of a new family of components, designed to meet the demanding requirements of today’s portable devices and communications hubs. Exclusive metal-hybrid construction provides effective magnetic shielding with DC resistance lower than conventional SMD inductors. This can improve circuit battery life to a level comparable to larger […]
