0.2ohm Thin Film Inductors:

Our extensive range of Thin Film Inductors includes both shielded and unshielded types, with ceramic, ferrite, metal, metal composition, and non-magnetic core materials.Thin Film Inductors are based on small thin film coils shaped like spirals with limits on maximum value. Their design, which is similar to semiconductors’, usually uses alumina, ferrite or magnetic material. This material allows for compact and higher precision performance. Some of the key benefits of designs using thin film include more stability, lower noise and heat resistance.Other advantages of these high performance, compact chips include high Q or quality factor (lower rate of stored energy loss) and high SRF (superconducting radio frequency) for RF current matching.There are multiple ways to construct thin film inductors. For example, instead of combining a resistor and inductor, thin film is capable of merging the two components into one, which can conserve current size and weight.Applications include:

1. lightweight mobile communication devices
2. wireless and LAN networks
3. power supplies
4. amplifiers
5. voltage controlled oscillators
6. impedance matching
7. extreme repeatability
8. tight tolerances

Demand is growing for thin film inductors and custom inductors due to the increasing proliferation of RF technology. Part of the attraction is their ability to adapt to properties of frequency-spectrum crowding. They are useful to achieve maximum bandwidth for wireless applications.
