TSC Ferrite International Introduces Several New Helpful Calculators and Tools

DC Bias Calculator
Don't let inferior ferrite cores cause your company to have field failures that may require a safety/quality recall. It is a known fact that most ferrite cores manufactured overseas saturate at lower drive levels than US manufactured ferrite cores. Make sure your core specifications include saturation properties. An easy inexpensive test of saturation properties is to measure inductance with a specified dc bias current.

Determining the amount of ampere turns a particular core (material grade, size, AL/GAP) can handle without saturating is no longer daunting. TSC Ferrite International has developed an easy to use excel spread sheet that does just that. Simply input our ferrite material grade, part size, AL & turn count and the spreadsheet calculates maximum dc bias current for no more than 10% inductance roll-off. The spread sheet also calculates and graphs Inductance vs. dc current, AL & Ue vs magnetizing force, AL & Ue vs NIdc, AL & Ue vs dc energy storage, for numerous AL/gaps on the core size and material grade of your choice. The bias calculator is available as a download off our their website.

TSF-50ALL Flat Line material properties

TSC Ferrite International was the first to offer this temperature stable power material that has only 50mW/cc core loss at 100KHz, 1,000 gauss, over the wide temperature range of 20 degrees Celsius through 100 degrees Celsius. The 3,000 permeability of "TSF 50ALL Flat Line" is also very stable over this wide temperature range of 20 degrees Celsius through 100 degrees Celsius. TSC Ferrite International has mass produced "TSF-50ALL Flat Line" in all shapes and sizes since late 2003 and we sell "TSF-50ALL Flat Line" for the same competitive price as our popular, high volume "TSF-7070 & TSF-7099" material grades.
