New Chip Inductors Offer Highest Inductance and Lowest DCR of any 0402-sized RF Choke

Cary, IL, USA – Developed for use in mobile devices and cellular infrastructure equipment,Coilcraft’s new 0402DF Series chip inductors offer higher inductance values and significantly lower DC resistance than other 0402-sized inductors, making them ideal for RF choke and filtering applications.

The 0402DF Series is offered in 25 inductance values ranging from 20 to 3300 nH, with a 5% tolerance for all values. It offers the lowest DC resistance currently available in a 0402 package. For example, the DCR of the 220 nH value is 0.240 Ohms – 55% lower than the same value in Coilcraft’s 0402AF Series – making it fully optimized for use as a harmonic filter element for NFC applications.

0402DF Series inductors can also be used as a filter element in bandstop and low pass filters, a one-pole filter or RF choke in cellular bands, and for ground-to-ground isolation. They feature a ferrite construction for high current handling and RoHS 6/6-compliant matte tin over nickel over silver-palladium-glass frit terminations.

Like all Coilcraft products, complete technical specifications and free evaluation samples of the 0402DF Series are available at www.coilcraft.com. Parts are available from stock and can be ordered on-line at buy.coilcraft.com or by calling a local Coilcraft sales office.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
