EPCOS / TDK CLT32 Automotive-Grade Power Inductors
TDK provides the CLT32 series power inductors with extremely compact dimensions and excellent electrical values due to their design. These inductors cover an inductance range of 17nH to 440nH and are designed for 13.5A to 60A saturation currents. CLT32 series inductors feature a small footprint of 3.2mm x 2.5mm and an insertion height of 2.5mm and are constructed for a temperature range of -40°C to +165°C, including self-heating.
These AEC-Q200 certified components are designed with a solid copper coil over-molded with a ferromagnetic plastic compound. The coil ends function as terminals, significantly increasing reliability - especially for automotive applications. Due to the solid copper coil, these products can achieve an exceptionally low RDC value, keeping losses to a minimum, i.e. when the inductance value is 17nH, the resistance rating is 0.39mΩ.
The compact and highly robust CLT32 inductors are suitable for safety-critical automotive applications in ADAS/AD. High-performance processors used in these fields require currents in the double-digit ampere range. Power Management ICs (PMICs) are used as power supplies that provide these high currents, meaning power inductors for stabilization are key components at the outputs. TDK CLT32 series is designed for switching frequencies of up to 10MHz and meet future requirements placed on DC/DC converters with high clock rates.
