CoupledInductors–MSD7342Series
The excellent coupling coefficient (k
≥ 0.94) makes the
MSD7342 series of coupled inductors ideal for use in
SEPIC applications. In SEPIC topologies, the required
inductance for each winding in a coupled inductor is
half the value needed for two separate inductors, allow-
ing selection of a part with lower DCR and higher
current handling.
These inductors provide high inductance, high efficiency
and excellent current handling in a rugged, low cost part.
They can also be used as two single inductors con-
nected in series or parallel, as a common mode choke
or as a 1 : 1 transformer.
