Due to the widespread adoption of cloud computing, smartphones, and the continuous advancement of 5G technology, data being transmitted over the internet has been steadily increasing. This growth is fueled by evolving technologies, such as AI, and the increasing use of data-driven practices like big data and IoT, which are driving the evolution of digital transformation (DX).
In response to these market trends, semiconductor processors like CPU, GPU, FPGA, and others have made significant strides in their manufacturing process technology, with a notable focus on miniaturization. These advancements have led to increased gate integrations per unit area, higher operating frequencies, and substantial improvements in information processing capabilities.
In line with the improvement in processor capabilities, there have also been significant advancements in Server Power Circuits.

The demand for higher data rates at the edge has increased significantly. The adoption of cameras and video system has increased driven by the reduced footstep of these systems and their usage for safety, security and quality applications. Other systems like high-speed data logging devices, embedded web servers and monitoring systems require a timely data transmission.
In addition, the number of nodes in networks are constantly increasing therefore the desire to use an existing ecosystem is strong. Ethernet protocol and security layers as well as well-known installation, maintenance and management processes result in a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and a better Return on Investment (ROI) in the Network.
Industrial applications focus on a network speed of 10 Mbps as this should address the data rate and reach for most of the existing fieldbus applications. TDK offers an extensive lineup of various inductors for use in 10Base-T1L applications including common-mode chokes (CMCs), isolation inductors (Isolated Coupled Inductors) and differential mode inductors (DMIs).

As the electrification of automobiles advances, power consumption control is becoming an increasingly important factor. LED Lighting Technology design reduces power consumption, increases lifecycle, offers design freedom and overall control. It is now used in Automotive functions including headlights and interior lighting. The TDK Group offers an extensive lineup of power inductors for use in LED drivers optimized for different systems including step-up, step-down, and step-up/step-down types.
