84473C Inductors, Coils, Chokes

Fixed inductors are components in electronic circuits, used to store energy in the form of an electromagnetic field. The 84473C is a chip-scale inductor developed by NXP Semiconductors for use in applications with tight space restrictions. This device offers high performance and unprecedented levels of miniaturization and thermal performance, allowing it to be used in many applications on a variety of platforms, from wireless to aerospace.

The 84473C relies on its semiconductor based construction to achieve its small size and its superior thermal performance. It consists of a ceramic-filled printed circuit board (PCB) with a single wire wound analog inductor. This lightweight construction is further enhanced by the use of a lithography process, which layers a specialized coating onto the inductor for superior electrical and thermal parameters. A unique feature of the 84473C is its thermal conditioning mode, which provides consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.

The 84473C is designed for use in a variety of industries and applications such as smart phones, laptops, automotive systems, medical systems and consumer entertainment systems. Its use is especially popular in military and aviation systems, due to its high power dissipation yet small size. It is also capable of delivering reliable performance in a variety of environments, from extreme temperatures to high vibrations.

The 84473C operates via the same basic principles as all fixed inductors. A fixed inductor is used to store energy in an electromagnetic field, which is then supplied to an electrical circuit. This form of energy storage is necessary for intermittent loading and unloading of current in electronic circuits. The field generated by the inductor is usually pulsing in order to maintain a steady charge or voltage. The 84473C can thus be used in situations where the hot-swapping of electrical components is necessary in order to control current levels or to adjust voltage.

The 84473C combines high power and efficiency with its small size and durability, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications. Its use of new lithography techniques and temperature conditioning modes make it an ideal choice when designing for high voltage, high power, and heavy usage. Its thermal performance is further enhanced by the use of an in-built heat sink, which helps dissipate redundant heat energy quickly and efficiently.
