As demand for energy-efficient power electronics grows, the performance of soft magnetic materials has become a key factor in ...

New processing tunes nanostructure and magnetic domains in iron-based amorphous ribbons, cutting core loss by over 50% for high-frequency power electronics.

An effective transformer design requires a determination of the peak values of the magnetic flux, the magnetic field strength, and the permeability of a core at low and high frequencies. These ...

Soft magnetic materials (materials that can easily be magnetized) come in many forms. For switchmode power supply flyback transformers and chokes, we would consider gapped ferrites, Iron powder, ...

Ferrite pot core transformers are constructed along the lines of the following sketch. We are told that this kind of core is extremely effective at confining the magnetic fields of the transformer ...

[Kos] tipped us about an article he made presenting his experiences in designing and implementing a core rope memory. This magnetic read-only memory (ROM), contrary to ordinary coincident-current ...

Most engineers think amorphous iron is an exotic material that is hard to come by. But the interest level in this metal is rising because its magnetic properties can promote energy efficiency in ...

A transformer core is the central part of a transformer, made from thin metal sheets (usually silicon steel) that help to carry magnetic energy. The transformer core market is witnessing strong growth ...

In this article, I want to use an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) medical scanner design as a familiar example for what needs to be done in a power supply design architecture to allow it to function ...
