White Paper Overview
Different constructions in seemingly similar inductive SMT components lead to different performance characteristics. This white paper concisely compares three types of inductive SMT components: the ceramic inductor (air-core coil), the SMT ferrite, and the wire-wound ferrite inductor. It explains how to select and use each component for optimum performance, and how their parasitic parameters can be leveraged advantageously in circuit design.Different constructions in seemingly similar inductive SMT components lead to different performance characteristics.
