LQW18AN56NJ00D

Fixed inductors, which are also known as “chokes” or “coils”, are components that store and release energy. The inductance of these devices is dependent upon the core material, the number of turns of the coil, and the shape and size of the core. Many applications specifically require an inductor with a certain amount of inductance, which must be maintained within a certain operating temperature range. One such inductor is LQW18AN56NJ00D.

The LQW18AN56NJ00D is a high-performance, RoHS-compliant, lead-free, 0805-sized, SMD fixed inductor, with a 240mH inductance level. This inductor is optimized for circuit designs with requirements for excellent high-frequency performance. The rated current for the device is 2.3A (1.6A when used as an output inductor in DC-DC power stage designs) and the temperature range for the component is -40 to +125°C.

The main application field of the LQW18AN56NJ00D is in converter circuit designs, such as DC-DC synchronous buck converters used in portable electronic devices. It is also used in wireless communication equipment, including 3G/4G/LTE modems, network routers and base stations, and automotive applications such as hybrid electric vehicles (EV) and fuel cell engines. In addition, the component may be used in RF wireless charger ICs, and 5G signal power amplifiers and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) projects.

The principle of operation of the LQW18AN56NJ00D is based on electromagnetic induction. When a current flows through the inductance component, a magnetic field is generated that stores energy. Whenever the current changes, a voltage is induced due to the mutual inductance of the component. This voltage can be used to power other components in a circuit design, or to cut off or control the current flow. In this way, the component acts as a current limiter, voltage regulator, or reactive element in circuits.

The LQW18AN56NJ00D is a very high-performance, energy-efficient, and cost-effective small component for circuit designs requiring a reliable and fixed inductance. With its wide range of applications, this component can be utilized in a variety of projects to minimize system complexity and cost, while providing superior operating performance.
