    Efficient power-bead inductors for computer power supplies

Pulse introduced seven new series of power bead inductors, giving designers the ability to optimize performance across a broad range of applications, frequencies, and load requirements. Pulse's these power beads are suited for multi-phase buck regulator applications. Their low direct current resistance (DCR) minimizes inductor conduction losses, their low-loss ferrite cores minimize inductor-switching losses, and their small footprint enables more board layout flexibility.
These new power bead inductors consist of two through-hole (THT) and five surface-mount (SMT) power bead series. The THT beads are typically used in power supplies for desktop computing, while SMT versions are used in notebook computing, servers, graphics cards, and point-of-load (PoL) applications.

The specifications of each device are listed below:

1. PA1682 SMT: 7.0 x 8.0 x 4.0mm, 0.5mOhms
2. PA2083 SMT: 7.6 x 7.4 x 7.0mm, 0.6mOhms
3. PA2509 SMT: 7.0x 8.5 x 8.0, 0.35mOhms
4. PA2202 SMT: 12.1 x 10.0 x 6.0, 0.48mOhms
5. PA2607 SMT: 10.4 x 7.9 x 7.6, 0.29mOhms
6. PA2150 Through-hole: 11.8 x 9.0 x 9.2mm, 0.5mOhms
7. PA2125 Through-hole: 15.9 x 9.0 x 9.2, 0.62mOhms


In selecting a power bead, Gallagher recommends selecting the DCR value first, then matching other electrical specifications to the requirements of the application. Generally, the smaller the DCR value the better; however, if the DCR is too low the voltage will be too low to sense the current. A minimum voltage drop is needed across the inductor, so there has to be a minimum DCR Knowing the DCR, inductance, and peak transient current.

The all can support a peak reflow soldering temperature of 260 degrees Celsius and meet UL94 V0 standards.
