As the form factor of wireless handsets, PDAs, and other portable electronics continues to shrink while their complexity level continues to grow, design engineers face an increasing number of problems ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign have devised a method of combining capacitors and inductors in a tiny, 3D rolled membrane. This will save space in the electronic filters ...

When designing or optimizing a VRM (voltage Regulation Module), we need its output impedance data and impedance data for the filter inductors and capacitors for us to have complete simulation models.

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

Explore how vertical power delivery enhances efficiency by embedding components within PCBs and reducing power losses.

ISSCC: Philips’ inductor capacitor has novel output buffer Steve Bush Philips Electronics has revealed a 35.2 to 37.6GHz inductor capacitor (LC) VCO at ISSCC. Made using a 70GHz fT, 100GHz fmax, SiGe ...

Inductors designed with active elements are very desirable to designers today because conventional spiral inductors are too big, too heavy, and too costly, and they require tuning. During the last few ...
