Understanding the fundamentals of switch‑mode power conversion is essential for selecting the most suitable inductor for any DC‑DC application. This guide, written by Mitchell Rhine, Director of Engineering at Signal Transformer, explains the key concepts and practical steps. Linear voltage regulato

Schaffner, the global leader in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) solutions, today unveiled a new family of RFI filters that integrate IEC C14 power‑entry modules (PEMs) equipped with either an internal fuse holder or a dual‑pole switch. The FN 9262 (fuse holder) and FN 9266 (dual‑pole switch) mod

Waldenburg, August 8, 2019 — Würth Elektronik eiSos, a leading European manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components, expands its LAN portfolio with the new WE‑LAN AQ series. The WE‑LAN AQ transformers are engineered to meet the demanding electrical requirements of industrial Ethernet

Radio‑frequency (RF) transformers are passive, multi‑port devices that serve a spectrum of roles in modern RF systems. Their primary function is to magnetically couple two or more conductors so that voltage and current can be transferred efficiently while maintaining desired electrical characteristi

Würth Elektronik expands its MagI³C‑VDMM (Variable Step‑Down Micro Module) family with powerful 1 A and 1.2 A variants. More Magic Micro Modules Based in Waldenburg, Germany, the new modules cover an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V—encompassing the common 3.3 V and 5 V bus voltages—and provide

FORT LAUDERDALE, — KEMET Corporation, a global leader in electronic components, today unveiled its complete KC‑LINK™ EIA 3640 series of surface‑mount ceramic capacitors, designed to meet the demanding requirements of fast‑switching wide‑bandgap (WBG) power devices. These capacitors deliver industry‑

Supply‑line noise is a persistent challenge in RF systems, especially when high‑frequency MMIC amplifiers deliver broadband gain. Even a few nanovolts of unwanted noise can mix with the desired signal, lowering the signal‑to‑noise ratio and generating spurious harmonics. To keep the amplifier’s perf

The rapid evolution of sensing technology and next‑generation communication networks is driving the emergence of autonomous driving. Coupled with the global rollout of 5G, the spotlight has shifted to vehicle‑to‑vehicle (V2V) and vehicle‑to‑infrastructure (V2I) communication—collectively known as V2

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) introduces the EPCOS Compact S14 AdvanceD‑MP series, a new line of metal‑oxide disk varistors that deliver the same high‑level performance as current S14 models while fitting into smaller footprints. The B72214P2* variants now measure only 13 mm to 14 mm in diameter—approx

In modern electronics, meeting stringent EMC requirements—such as the EU Directive and FCC standards—depends heavily on effective EMI filtering. This article, authored by Peter Mathews, dives deep into the critical concept of insertion loss and its impact on filter performance, offering a clear road

This article provides a comprehensive overview of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, explaining its core components, operational principles, and diverse real‑world applications. What is RFID? RFID is a wireless identification technology that uses radio waves to automatically identify

Waldenburg, Germany – Würth Elektronik expands its AEC‑Q200‑qualified radio interference suppression choke portfolio with the new SMT‑mountable model WE‑RCIS. This rod‑core choke is available in four variants and is engineered for high current capacity and exceptionally high saturation power, making

\nWe frequently highlight the technical strengths of the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard, but the financial upside is equally compelling. In a landscape of tightening budgets—whether from sequestration or other cost‑cutting pressures—organizations can now adopt a middleware that delivers bo

In today’s world, the term “computer” is no longer limited to large, standalone machines. A vast majority of modern electronics—from kitchen appliances to traffic lights—contain some form of embedded computer. In fact, estimates indicate that 90% of all computers on the planet are now embedded, and

When I was in college, I could download software suites for free or at a fraction of their retail price. I once purchased MATLAB and LabVIEW—complete with the Signal Processing and Communications Toolboxes—at under $150. Those tools were not only valuable educational resources, but they also becam

Android has become the leading mobile operating system, powering both phones and tablets worldwide. As mobile computing increasingly displaces traditional desktops, Android now competes with Windows, Linux, and macOS as a major OS platform. Its vibrant app‑development ecosystem attracts developers
