Rethinking Inductor Sizing: The High-Gain Magnetic Illusion

Rethinking Inductor Sizing: The High-Gain Magnetic Illusion

By defining a Utilization Factor, this article debunks inductor sizing myths and presents a strategic framework for magnetic volume optimization in high-gain DC-DC converters.


Why a Conforming Two-Layer ESD Mat Can Fail Incoming Inspection

Why a Conforming Two-Layer ESD Mat Can Fail Incoming Inspection

A shipment read non-conforming until the inspector realized which layer he had measured. Two-layer ESD matting carries two separate resistance specifications, not one.
