A buck-boost converter is used to convert a switched DC voltage of some value to another DC voltage of some fixed value. They are primarily used in applications where you need some fixed DC output voltage even if your DC input voltage is changing. For example, in...

WHAT IS INDUCTANCE and INDUCTORS? “Inductance is the property of an electrical conductor by which a change in current through it induces an electromotive force in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors by mutual inductance.” MATHEMATICALLY THIS IS...

One of the most “mysterious” transformers to design are impedance and/or audio transformers. From here out I’ll refer to both types just as impedance transformers. If you go searching online, you’ll find very little useful information on how to design such a part. Now...

When a voltage is applied to a finite inductance for some period of time it gives rise to a current though some number of turns…..the applied volt-sec’s are equivalent to some amp-Henries…. It is the current though some number of turns, known as amp-turns, or...

Lines of magnetic flux are created when a current flows through a conductor. They can transport energy from one winding to another usually though a permeable core of some kind. The amount of flux per area is known as flux density. Transformer and inductor cores have...
