Ferrite features low core loss
A new low-loss ferrite material targets the market for switching power supplies, adapters for notebook PCs and CCFL LCD backlights
TDK Electronics Europe has introduced a low-loss ferrite material targeting the market for switching power supplies, adapters for notebook PCs and CCFL LCD backlights. PC47 is ideal for transformer applications due to its low core loss at wide frequency range 100 to 300kHz. PC47 has been developed based on TDK's long standing materials expertise with ferrite and features low core loss of 250kW/m3 at 100kHz, 200mT at 100C.

SMD circulator is compatible with WiMAX (2.5 and 3.5 GHz) and wideband (200 MHz) frequencies
The PC47 has a higher saturation flux density, 420mT at 100C, than its nearest competitors the PC44/PC40, 390mT, making its use in applications like CCFL LCD backlights particularly efficient.
Optimum usage of the improved core loss and flux density can increase power throughput from 10 to 20% compared with conventional PC44/PC40 materials.
This new ferrite material contributes to TDKs efforts in supporting environmental conservation by promoting low loss across wide range of temperatures.
PC47 is available in the most popular shapes used for power applications, such as E/EI/ETD cores and planar cores.
PC47 ferrite is fully RoHS compliant and now available from TDK Electronics Europe.
