The Inductor Squeeze: Why Shrinking Wearables Are Rewriting Power Design Rules
As wearables and mobile devices keep shrinking, a new generation of shielded power inductors is quietly reshaping how engineers manage current, noise, and board space.

Vehicle battery measurement is pushing resistors and capacitors toward precision, temperature, and reliability extremes that are now spilling into AI servers, industrial control, and aerospace power d…
A prototype film capacitor built around a proprietary heat-resistant dielectric film has enabled a successful 150°C inverter test, pointing toward a path for higher-output drive systems without the us…
A new chip resistor series pairs thick-film resistive technology with an aluminum nitride substrate, trading a familiar material for a far better thermal conductor to push power density higher in indu…
A new 27 kW three-phase PSU aimed at next-generation AI server racks signals a broader shift toward 800 VDC and ±400 VDC architectures, and with it, a rising bar for the capacitors that keep that powe…
Ferrite beads are often dismissed as a trivial fix for noisy cables, but their role in modern EMI/EMC design is far more deliberate — and far more consequential — than the component’s reputation…
New AEC-Q200 metal-foil current-sense shunts in 0508 and 0612 cases push power density and thermal stability further, raising the bar for how automotive systems measure current.
Toshiba’s latest eFuse lets a single external resistor set the overcurrent threshold, turning a once-fixed protection parameter into something a bill of materials can tune on the fly.
A new DC-link film-capacitor series is qualified for continuous case operation up to 135 °C, with no derating through 105 °C. The headline expands thermal design headroom, but voltage, ripple current,…
The completed C2i acquisition adds digital multiphase-control and system-architecture expertise to Infineon’s AI power portfolio. For passive components, the strategic signal is that fast load respons…
