Editor’s note: Jim McLucas, author of the 2010 Design Idea Circuit measures capacitance or inductance wanted to respond to some discussion about using this Design Idea. Please see the following that ...

In some applications, magnetic components are difficult to characterize when steady-state current is flowing. Bridges having the necessary dc capability are expensive. If you don't need extreme ...

Inductors and transformers serve key roles in switch-mode power supplies. Ensuring they perform as expected requires thorough in-circuit measurements performed under operating conditions. Here’s what ...

DURING the last thirty years a very large number of papers has been published on alternating-current bridge methods of measuring inductance and capacity. For adjusting apparatus in radio work an ...

Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...
