Development of Liqualloy Power Inductor Enabling Mobile Devices to Run for an Extended Time
Alps Green Devices has developed power inductor helping the mobile devices to run for a long period of time by lowering the power consumption not only the CPU and the various devices but also the DC/DC converter which are used to supply power after converting voltage. The newly developed Liqualloy power inductor is a new GLMH series from the company. The liqualloy is the inductor’s core material which is a magnetic amorphous alloy created through joint research between Alps Electric and Tohoku University. The use of liqualloy provides ability for minimizing the power loss during conversion, thereby enabling high efficiency especially during low-load operation. Read more
Development of “Liqualloy”, a Power Inductor for High-Current Applications
Alps Green Devices has announced the development of “GLMD Series” Liqualloy™ Power Inductor which is designed for high-current applications such as CPU power supplies in notebook PCs, servers, as well as other type of electronic equipment. The Liqualloy, the core material in the inductor, is a metallic glass with magnetic properties which has been developed jointly with Tohoku University, where it features industry leading low losses. Metallic glass is a type of amorphous metal with a disordered atomic structure, ideal for industrial applications due to its super cooled liquid region like oxide glass helping the new inductor to operate in lower losses than previous inductors, particularly when operating under light loads.
