BI Technologies Develops Low Profile, High Power Inductor for Voltage Regulator Applications
Low profile powdered iron core inductor eliminates need for larger ferrite devices...
FULLERTON, CA (September 20, 2006) - Providing design engineers with a low profile package for non-isolated voltage regulator designs, TT electronics BI Technologies Magnetic Components Division has developed a high power, molded surface mount inductor. Designated the HM72A Series, the family of RoHS-compliant powdered iron inductors is ideal for power applications.
"The pressed powdered iron alloy core construction optimizes current saturation levels while minimizing both AC and DC power losses," said David Smolik, director of product development for TT electronics' BI Technologies Magnetic Components Division. "The core material of the low profile inductor is capable of controlling power losses as switching frequencies move from 300kHz to 1MHz, reducing the need for larger ferrite core inductors."
The HM72A Series inductor is being specified for a variety of power applications, including servers, notebooks, work stations, DC/DC converters, and point-of-load modules, as well as distributed power architectures, such as telecom, datacom, industrial, and automotive designs.
The high power surface mount devices feature inductance values from 100nH to 33mH, with saturation levels to 80 amps. Operating temperature range for the HM72A Series inductors is -40°C to +155°C, with a maximum temperature rise rating of 50°C. BI Technologies will also produce devices outside these specifications to meet customer requirements.
The HM72A inductors are available in three package sizes: 7.23mm x 6.8mm, with a height of 3.0mm; 11.5mm x 10.5mm, with height options of 2.5mm and 4.0mm; and 13.5mm x 13.0mm, in heights of 3.5mm, 5.0mm, and 6.5mm. The molded surface mount inductors are available in standard embossed tape and reel packaging.
Typical pricing for the HM72A Series devices is approximately $0.55 to 0.85 each, depending on quantity and size. Lead times are from stock to 10 weeks.
