    Don’t Overlook These Keys to Optimized Converter Performance
    Len Crane, Senior Technologist, Coilcraft

    ­Inductors function as circuit elements by reaction to current flow in the windings. Inductors are fundamentally current-driven devices, and anyone who has designed a dc-dc converter knows power inductor datasheets are covered with Irms and Isat current ratings. Picking a power inductor is all about current ratin
