Understanding SMPS fundamentals is essential when optimizing a inductor design for smaller size, cooler operation and lower losses. We've been designing and building custom Switch Mode Power Supply magnetics for over 25 years. From design concept to delivery, you can rely on our expertise to help you minimize your risk and achieve a high performance product.
Example Types of High-Frequency, Ferrite & Switching Inductors & Chokes:
