TFM Series
The TFM series of power inductors consists of compact, thin inductors developed with the skillful application of the thin-film processing techniques acquired by TDK throughout its past. By using metallic magnetic materials with high saturation magnetic flux densities, these products have furthermore achieved the outstanding DC superimposition characteristics required of power inductors. This article clearly describes and explains valuable information for our customers related to the products in the TFM series, including their structures, features, and uses.

VLS Series
The VLS series power inductors are magnetic shield (resin) type wound inductors that have been developed taking full advantage of the material technology and manufacturing processes that TDK have accumulated so far. This type of inductors can largely be classified into three categories: VLS-HBX/HBU series, VLS-CX series, and VLS-EX/AF/EX-H series; and they show respective excellent features. This article introduces the structure, features, and application purposes of these products, and other information that helps you in an easy-to-understand way.

SPM Series
The SPM series power inductors are the metal composite type wire-wound inductors that have the coils integrally molded with metallic magnetic powder. Compared to ferrite-base wire-wound inductors, the SPM series inductors realize larger current, lower Rdc, smaller size and superior DC bias characteristic. In addition, they ensure low magnetic flux leakage and are effective as a means to suppress acoustic noise of the coil. This article introduces the structure, features, and application of these products, and other information that helps you in an easy-to-understand way.

Application Note: "Recommended Products for Use with Class-D Amplifiers (Noise Suppression Filters, Inductors for LPFs, Chip Varistors)" has been released
Class-D amplifiers, which are used in devices such as smartphones and audio equipment, have the advantages of being compact and highly efficient, but crucially require countermeasures against noise generated by their high-speed switching. TDK has an extensive lineup of products which can provide effective noise countermeasures while ensuring high sound quality and without affecting signals. This article describes the applications and effectiveness of these products in speaker lines for various devices which use Class-D amplifiers.
