Inductors Save Space, Boost Converter Efficiency

Measuring 4 mm x 4 mm x 1.65 mm, the LQH44P wire-wound inductor series keeps a low profile while promising to increase dc/dc converter efficiency with dc resistances from 0.03 to 0.37 Ohm. Seven components in the series offer inductance values from 1 µH and 22 µH and specify current ratings up to 2.95A. The inductors are magnetically shielded and operate over a temperature range from -40?C to +85°C. Pricing is approximately $0.20 each in volume.
