Vishay Intertechnology Gives Designers the Power to Calculate Ferrite Bead Impedance Online

Vishay Intertechnology announces that its Vishay Inductors Division has introduced the industry’s first online ferrite bead impedance calculator.

Exclusively Marketed, the new time-saving online tool touts to simplify the search of the impedance of Vishay’s most popular surface-mount ferrite beads at any given frequency and calculate the effective impedance at the stated frequency with DC bias applied.

Key Nuggets include:

• To help designers easily incorporate Vishay’s surface-mount ferrite beads into any application for filtering, the new calculator eliminates the need to determine impedance information from the Z vs. frequency graph in product datasheets.
• As applied DC lowers the effective impedance of the ferrite bead due to saturation, the new tool also removes the guesswork in determining how much impedance is reduced helping designers achieve the desired circuit impedance without having to experiment with several different values.

Additionally, the new ferrite bead impedance calculator can be used with Vishay’s surface-mount ferrite beads in the 0603, 0805 and 1206 case sizes.
