These inductors can also be used as filtering components in applications where customers already use Murata’s converters or power supplies. In addition, inductors can be used in applications of designers who are using competitive converters or discrete power solutions. The inductor business can be a useful way of holding designer mind share. The block diagram shown here depicts where in a power architecture, designers might use inductors to improve levels of noise out of converters and power supplies. Some applications have sensitive components that need to be protected and require specific levels of noise, Murata’s inductors can bring noise down to an acceptable level.
