Welcome to the Experimenting with Magnetic Components challengers page!

Our Experimenting with Magnetic Components Competition a(n) collaboration/association with Bourns, has now launched.  The 10 challengers will use the Magnetic Components kit to experiment, test, build, or just play around with transformers, inductors, line filters, and more in their projects.  These Challengers will receive a Challenger Kit for FREE.

Please join us in congratulating the official sponsored Challengers.  We look forward to reading all your initial blogs introducing your project designs.

Smart Coin Sorter
Synopsis: Experiment and build an oscillator for use in a smart coin sorter and see the possibility of using any of the coils as the transmitter coil, study what possible filters can attenuate noise.

Experimenting with Magnetic Components
Synopsis: I am interested to experiment the challenge kit in using for the practical testing laboratory to design the suitable circuits and to study their I-V characteristics.

Filtering Output Noise 5volt Mobile Charger
Synopsis: Using a spare old phone charger with high output noise, I want to build a circuit that can filter this noise.

Go Discrete: Go Power
Synopsis: Use the kit's radial inductor parts for designing the buck-convertor stage and experiment with common mode chokes.

Ideal vs Real Inductors
Synopsis: Experiment and compare an ideal inductor with no parasitics, perfect linear impedance vs frequency plot, no SRF, no DCR vs a real/practical/non-ideal model of inductor. I will also talk about the importance of SRF and Q-factor and how a single inductor can behave as a tank circuit at higher frequencies thereby severely affecting the performance of the circuits.

Experimenting with Magnetic Components
Synopsis: Experiment with a line filter to check for possible scope of frequency signal entering into input power. I will also experiment with various kit inductors to find the quantity of fluctuation reduction when a fluctuating current flows and storing electric energy as magnetic energy. I would like to experiment with Pulse Transformers to turn ON and OFF using a switch at an operating frequency and a pulse duration that delivers the required amount of power.

Multi-Inductor Interleaved Boost Converter
Synopsis: Experiment with an Interleaved boost converter that is suited for high power application due to lower ripple content in current. I will investigate the performance variation of IBC with the change of inductor value because inductance has a big impact on input current ripple and output voltage ripple.

Power Supply Noise Rejection Filters for Sensitive Devices
Synopsis: I'll use this Magnetic components kit to create multiple power supply topologies.
