Choosing Power Inductors for LiDAR Systems

Nov. 10, 2020
Learn more about LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensing systems and ways to optimize the efficiency of their DC/DC power supplies.

A LiDAR system may contain a half dozen or so power supplies, sometimes including  Boost, SEPIC, Buck-Boost and even Flyback topologies. With so many required voltage rails, there is plenty of opportunity for optimization, and inductors or transformers will play a key role in almost all systems. Finding the inductor that fits best for each topology can be a challenge, but inductor suppliers are providing new tools and guidance to help this process.
