Got Current Spikes? Soft-Saturation Inductors to the Rescue!
Featured Article | Mike Donnelly | 15 December 2015
Coilcraft has provided models of their XAL family of power inductors in the PartQuest Explore Partner Library. This article shows the importance of the "soft saturation" magnetic characteristic of these parts, which can prevent catastrophic transient over-currents during start-up and other operating conditions.
