Coilcraft Magnetics for Maxim Devices
Avnet Memec are proud to announce the launch of a new design advice brochure: Coilcraft Magnetics for Maxim Devices. This document lists all the Coilcraft magnetics & inductors currently specified and approved by Maxim for use with their devices. Avnet Memec is uniquely positioned as being franchised for both lines, allowing you to source both together.
Avnet Memec also carries stock of most popular devices, as well as all designer kits from Coilcraft. In addition, Coilcraft also provide a particularly useful Core and Winding Loss calculator on their web-site, which can be used to analyze inductor loss under any conditions of current and frequency, making it applicable to almost any Maxim power converter design.
This was recently highlighted in an article written by two Maxim engineers, describing how to determine the efficiency losses associated with passive components and how features offered by controller ICs can be used to mitigate SMPS losses. A link to this article is referred to below.
Highlights
- Flyback transformers for Power over Ethernet Interface PWM controllers
- Miniature SMT transformers for RS232 / RS485 interface ICs
