The MSD1260T series of shielded coupled inductors was designed specifically for high temperature applications – up to 125°C. The excellent coupling coefficient (k ≥0.94) makes it ideal for use in SEPIC applications. In SEPIC topologies, the required inductance for each winding in a coupled inductor is half the value needed for two separate inductors, allowing selection of a part with lower DCR and higher current handling.These parts provide high inductance, high efficiency and excellent current handling in a rugged, low cost part. They are well suited for use as VRM inductors in high current DC-DC and VRM/VRD controllers. They can also be used as two single inductors connected in series or parallel, or as 1 : 1 transformers.
