EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) |
A
useful definition of EMI noise is any signigicant signal energy that
causes unintended, undesirable circuit function or inadequate EMC
performance. |
|
AC
Initial Permeability (£giac) |
This
is the limit value of magnetic core permeability at the origin of
the virgin magnetization curve. It's given by the following formula: |
|
|
Inductance
(L): |
The
magnetic flux linkages in Maxwells-turns per ampere of magnetizing
current. |
|
|
Inductance
Factor (AL) |
Inductance
factor is defined as the self inductance per unit turn of a coil of
a given shape and dimension wound on a magnetic core, and is determined
by the following formula: |
|
|
Quality
Factor (Q): |
The
efficiency of an inductor, that is the ratio of series inductive reactance
to loss resistance. |
|
|
Loss
factor (tan£_): |
Deviation
from ideal phase angle (90°)
due to losses. |
|
|
|
Relative
Loss Factor (tan£_
/£giac) |
Losses
per unit of permeability. Figure merit of a material. |
|
|
Curie
Temperature (Tc): |
emperature
at which a ferromagnetic material loses its ferromagnetism and becomes
paramagnetic(£g
approaches 1) |
|
|
Relative
Temperature Coefficient of lnitial permeability
(£\£gr):
|
This
is the value obtained by dividing the temperature coefficient of the
initial permeability(£\£g)
by the initial permeability. |
|
|
Specific
Gravity (d) |
It's
calculated from its volume and weight, as shown below: |
