Inductors Thiin-film metal m po ower inductors s for automotiv ve pow wer sup pplies • Wo orld's highe est rated currrent of 1.9 A for a pow wer inductorr of its size • Brroad temperrature range e of -55 °C to +125 °C • Qu ualified to AEC-Q200 A April 12, 2016 TDK Corporation has expanded its po ortfolio of co ompact thin--film metal ppower induc ctors with a new type design ned for dem manding auto omotive applications. Measuring M iin at a mere e 2.0 mm x 1.6 m mm x 1.0 mm, the new TDK TFM2 201610ALM MA thin-film metal poweer inductor features f the w world's highest rated cu urrent of 1.9 9 A for a power inducto or of its sizee*. Its rated inductance is 2.2 2 µH. Despite its miniature dimenssions, the component c provides p a llow DC resiistance of 152 m mΩ. Based on a high-p precision co oil pattern, advanced a plating p technnology and lowresisstance mate erials, the th hin-film meta al power ind ductor helps s improve thhe efficienc cy of power circu uits. Moreovver, the com mponent hass stable DC superposition charactteristics, wh hich serve to miinimize the ripple curre ent in the po ower circuit.. Thanks als so to the usse of a highly heat resisstant materia al, the TFM201610ALM MA has a broad tempe erature rangge of -55 °C to +125 5 °C. Mass production of the new componentts will begin in Septembber 2016. Toda ay’s automo obiles not on nly use elecctronically-c controlled de evices for vvarious func ctions, but are a also equippe ed with an increasing n number of ECUs E for co ommunicatioons, informa ation, auton nomous drivving, and otther functio ons. As a res sult, compa act componeents with high rated curre ents are in demand d for automotive e application ns. The min niature size and excelle ent electtrical perform mance para ameters of tthe TFM201 1610ALMA,, which is quualified to AEC-Q200, A make e it well suitted for use in automotivve power supplies in advanced a drriving assisttant syste ems (ADAS S), for example. TDK plans to inccrease the operating te emperature e range to a maximum of 165 °C in n the future e. In ad ddition, the lineup l of TF FM201610A ALMA thin-film metal po ower inducttors will be expanded in the e future to include com mponents wiith different package sizes and higgh rated ind ductance value es that mee et the requirrements of d diverse dem manding app plications. of March 2016 6, according to o TDK data * As o ----ns Main application utomotive pow wer supplies s in advanced d driving ass sistant system ms (ADAS), ffor example • Au nd benefits Main features an • • • • orld's highesst rated current of 1.9 A fo or a power in nductor of its size Wo Sp pace-saving dimensions d of o 2.0 mm x 1.6 mm x 1.0 0 mm Bro oad tempera ature range of o -55 °C to + +125 °C Sta able DC superposition ch haracteristicss minimize rip pple current in power suppply circuits TDK C Corporation 1/ 2 Key d data Type e Dimension ns [mm] Ind ductance [μH H] TFM2 201610ALMA A2R2MTAA 2.0 x 1.6 x 1.0 2.2 2 ± 20% Max.
