BI Technologies Develops High Stability, Constant DCR Power Inductor
Surface mount power inductor detects current in voltage regulator applications...
AUSTIN, TX (February 26, 2008) -- Providing design engineers with a stable power device capable of sensing current, TT electronics BI Technologies has developed a constant DCR surface mount power inductor. Designated the HM69S Series, the inductor maintains a constant DC resistance value, with a shift of only ±2% at room temperature and 7% over a 100°C temperature range.
According to David Smolik, director of product development for BI Technologies, power electronics engineers often use the resistance of the inductor to detect current in a PWM circuit because the inductor's DCR is lossless and quite accurate. "While this is a good means of detecting current, stability over the temperature range must be compensated due to the use of a copper conductor, which is typically unstable with TCR at 3900ppm/°C," said Smolik. "By developing an inductor with a TCR of 700ppm/°C, we are able to provide customers with a much more stable and accurate device, one that does not require thermal compensation for the resistance change of the copper conductor."
The HM69S Series power inductor was designed for multiphase voltage regulator applications, including powering CPUs.
The power inductor features an inductance range of 90nH to 200nH, with a maximum rated DC current of 75A and TCRs of 700ppm/°C. Typical DCRs are 0.950m?. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +125°C, with a maximum temperature rise of +40°C. Constant DC resistance over the specified temperature range is ±2%.
The surface mount power inductors are packaged in 700 piece reels and 4,200 piece cartons.
Typical pricing for the HM69S Series inductor ranges from $0.55 to
$0.65 each depending on volume and package size. Lead times are from
12 to 14 weeks.
