Malvern, Pa. Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has expanded its IHLP family of low-profile, high-current inductors with devices in the 2525 case size. These IHLP inductors are said to offer the lowest direct current resistance (DCR)/microHenry (uH) for its package size.
The IHLP2525EZ01 inductors are specified for saturation currents ranging from 4.5 A to 12 A, typical DCR values range from 3.4 milliohms (mΩ) to 67.9 mΩ, and maximum DCR values range from 3.6 mΩ to 71.3 mΩ. They are available in inductance values from 10 uH to 0.56 uH with a standard inductance tolerance of ±20%.
The IHLP2525EZ01 inductors measure 0.255 x 0.270 in. (6.47 x 6.86 mm) with a maximum height profile of 0.197 in. (5.0 mm). They occupy the standard 2525 footprint shared by lower-profile IHLP devices while providing higher rated current and lower DCR values.
These IHLP inductors serve as high-performance, space- and power-saving solutions for voltage regulator module (VRM) and dc/dc converter applications in products such as mobile devices, notebook computers, desktop computers, servers, graphic cards, portable gaming devices, personal navigation systems, personal multimedia devices, and automotive systems. They can also be used in low-profile, high-current power supplies and point of load (POL) converters, distributed power systems, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
Like other devices in the IHLP family, the IHLP2525EZ01 devices handle high transient current spikes without hard saturation and operate at a frequency under 1 MHz. Packaged in RoHS-compliant, 100% lead-free shielded, composite construction that reduces buzz noise to ultra-low levels, the devices are specified for an operating temperature range of 55°C to 125°C. They also feature high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration.
