Automotive chip inductors save space

Bourns’ Model CWP3230A automotive-grade chip inductors, featuring high current, inductance and impedance, save space in PoC applications.

Bourns, Inc. has launched its Model CWP3230A Series chip inductors, targeting power-over-coax (PoC) automotive applications. The new series’ high impedance and current capabilities make them suited for applications using coaxial cable, where both power and video signals are simultaneously transmitted.

These chip inductors also enable designers to decrease the number of inductors and chip beads in circuit, to save space and reduce development costs, Bourns said.

These AEC-Q200 compliant automotive-grade inductors feature high current, inductance and impedance in a compact form factor. The series is designed with a ferrite powder core, and bifilar and trifilar windings to achieve a higher saturation current and heating current level in a small size.

The series offers an inductance range of 2.2 – 47 µH and an operating temperature range of -50°C to 150°C. These features meet a growing variety of space-constrained advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) applications that must also meet lower power consumption requirements such as in PoC vehicle camera modules, Bourns said.

The Model CWP3230A chip inductor series is RoHS compliant and halogen free. The series is available now.

Bourns also recently introduced two new AEC-Q200 compliant, automotive-grade common-mode chip inductor model series. The Model SRF4532TA and Model SRF3225TABG are designed for noise suppression solutions in a range of automotive applications, including ADAS, infotainment and body electronics.
