Low-profile high-current inductors for high-frequency VRM10.0 applications

A new series of low-profile, high-current inductors optimized for high-frequency VRM10.0 applications has been introduced by Vishay. Offered in the IFLR 2727, 4027, 4031, and 5151 case sizes, the devices offer high saturation current to 71A, very low DCR to 0.26mohm, and inductance down to 0.072µH. With a frequency range up to 2MHz, the inductors released today serve as high-performing, space- and power-saving solutions for voltage regulator modules (VRMs) and DC-DC converters in notebooks, desktop computers, and servers; and low-profile, high-current power supplies and point of load (POL) converters. Featuring a 100 % lead (Pb)-free shielded package, the RoHS-compliant devices are specified for an operating temperature range of -40C to +125C, with high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration, says the company.
