How hard can it be to create your own inductors? Get a wire. Coil it up. Right? Well, the devil is definitely in the details, and [Nick] wants to share his ten tips for building “the perfect” inductor ...

Abstract: This letter looks into the performance of the on-silicon inductor coil with integrated buck dc–dc converters, made using a 180 nm bulk complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process.

Abstract: A dual coupled inductors (DCI) structure is proposed, which integrates the two dc inductances, a high-frequency transformer and a leakage inductance into two standard EE cores. And the dc ...
