Applications of Magnetic Ring Inductors in Smartphones

Magnetic ring inductors (toroidal inductors) play critical roles in smartphone circuitry by providing compact size, high efficiency, and superior EMI suppression. Here are their key applications:

1. Power Management

✅ DC-DC Converters (Buck/Boost)

• Step-down/step-up voltage regulation (e.g., 3.3V/1.8V for CPUs)

• >90% efficiency with low core loss (<50mW @2MHz)

✅ Wireless Charging Rx Coils

• Qi-standard compliant (5W–15W)

• Shielded design minimizes interference with NFC/RF antennas

✅ Battery Management (BMS)

• Filters noise in fast-charging circuits (e.g., USB PD 3.0)

• Prevents voltage spikes during charge/discharge

2. RF & Signal Integrity

5G/4G mmWave Antenna Matching

• Stabilizes impedance at 28GHz/39GHz bands

• Reduces insertion loss (<0.3dB @6GHz)

Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Front-End Modules

• Suppresses harmonics in 2.4GHz/5.6GHz bands

• Improves SNR for BT audio codecs (LDAC, aptX HD)

NFC/RFID Secure Element Filtering

• Blocks EMI from display drivers

• Ensures stable 13.56MHz operation (ISO 14443 compliant)

3. Audio & Display Enhancement

Hi-Fi Audio Circuits

• LC filters for DAC/amplifier power rails

• Reduces hiss in high-impedance headphones

️ OLED Display Power Supply

• Minimizes flicker in PWM dimming circuits

• Extends screen lifespan by reducing ripple current
