Murata Expanded Metal Power Inductors Contributing to Greater Design Flexibility for Automotive Power Circuits
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has expanded its DFE2MCPH_JL series of automotive-grade metal power inductors by introducing nine new inductance values. This expansion is designed to provide broader support for the diverse circuit design requirements prevalent in automotive power circuits, including those found in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI).
The increasing performance and functionality of modern ADAS and IVI systems have created a significant demand for automotive power circuits that are not only smaller and more efficient but also exhibit lower power loss. Concurrently, the varied power supply needs across different automotive applications necessitate a wider array of inductance values, allowing designers to precisely select the most suitable inductor for each specific power circuit.
To meet these evolving market demands, Murata's new inductors, despite their compact 0806-inch (2.0 × 1.6 mm) package, deliver low DC resistance, high current capability, and a 40 V withstand voltage. Furthermore, they are compliant with the AEC-Q200 automotive qualification standard. By offering an expanded range of inductance options, Murata enhances design flexibility for automotive power circuits, enabling engineers to optimise their designs for increasingly sophisticated automotive electronics.
