TAIYO YUDEN: World's First Multilayer Metal Power Inductor Capable of Withstanding Temperatures up to 165°C

　　TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has commercialized four items, including the multilayer metal power inductor MCOIL™ "LACNF2012KKTR24MAB" (2.0 x 1.25 x 1.0 mm, maximum height value shown), which complies with the "AEC-Q200" reliability qualification test standard for passive automotive components. Through advancements made in our proprietary metal materials and multilayer construction methods, we have achieved an upper operating temperature limit of 165°C for a multilayer metal power inductor, a world’s first *1 .　　These products are used as choke coils in DC-DC converters used in automotive engine ECUs, control systems such as BMS, safety systems such as ABS, body-related systems such as ADAS, and information systems such as instrument clusters.　　By extending the upper operating temperature limit range of our conventional product "LCCNF2012KKTR24MAD" (operating temperature range: -55°C to +150°C) to 165°C, these new products are able to contribute to the miniaturization and performance enhancement of power supply circuits by enabling high-density mounting in high-temperature environments such as in automobiles.　　Mass production of these products began at our subsidiary, WAKAYAMATAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. (Inami-cho, Hidaka-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan), in April 2024. Samples are available for 50 yen per unit.　　The advancements that we have seen in recent years in electronic controls in production vehicles, as typified by ADAS units, has led to a greater number of power supply circuits on vehicles, which in turn has led to growth in the demand for power inductors that are used in these circuits. Furthermore, performance also continues to improve through functional integration, such as in integrated cockpits that combine instrument clusters and infotainment devices. While the throughput of IC chips continues to grow as these devices become increasingly multifunctional and high-performance, there is also a growing need to make on-board electronic components smaller and thinner in order to arrange devices in highly dense configurations and integrate them into single modules. Components mounted at high densities become more susceptible to the effects of heat, as their reduced volumes makes it more difficult for the heat generated by the components to dissipate. Furthermore, since ECUs are increasingly being installed in engine compartments—a high temperature environment—on-board electronic components must be able to withstand high temperatures.　　To address these challenges, TAIYO YUDEN further improved the reliability of the MCOIL™ LCCN series of multilayer metal power inductors, which had the advantage of being smaller and thinner, and launched the AEC-Q200 certified LACN series which provides an extended operating temperature range of - 55°C to +165°C.　　TAIYO YUDEN focuses on the development of products that meet market needs, and will continue to expand its power inductor product lineup.　　*1 As of May 30, 2024, according to TAIYO YUDEN study.　　■Application　　Choke coils in DC-DC converters used in automotive engine ECUs, control systems such as BMS, safety systems such as ABS, body-related systems such as ADAS, and information systems such as instrument clusters.　　■Characteristics　　*2 The saturation current value (Idc1) is the DC current value having inductance decrease down to 30%.

TAIYO YUDEN Expands Lineup of Multilayer Metal Power Inductors for Smartphones

　　TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has begun mass production of three products, including the LSCND1412FETR47ME (1.4 x 1.2 x 0.65 mm; maximum height shown), in its MCOIL™ LSCN series of multilayer metal power inductors.　　These power inductors are for use as choke coils in the power circuits of smartphones. Retaining the same form factor as our previous product "LSCND1412FETR47MC" (1.4 x 1.2 x 0.65 mm), the DC superposition allowable current of our new "LSCND1412FETR47ME" has been increased by 20% to 3.6 A (previously 3.0 A), and its DC resistance has been reduced by 10% to 38 mΩ (previously 42 mΩ). These improvements contribute to boosting the performance of power supply circuits in smartphones, which are becoming increasingly sophisticated and multifunctional.　　Mass production of these products commenced at our subsidiary WAKAYAMATAIYO YUDEN CO. LTD. (Inami-cho, Hidaka-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan). Samples are available for 50 yen per unit.　　Technology Background　　Smartphones are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with capabilities such as AI-based image and video editing, as well as voice and text translation. At the same time, there is demand for greater efficiency in order to keep their body small, and achieve long operating times with limited battery capacity. To achieve both high performance and high efficiency, a smartphone’s processor operates at high speeds with low voltage and high current, and employs a multi-core configuration where each core is equipped with its own power supply circuit, allowing it to improve both its processing power and efficiency by switching the cores used depending on load. This trend in power supply circuits has become particularly pronounced in cutting-edge smartphones, which require both high performance and high efficiency, and in recent years has led to an increase in the adoption of small and thin low-inductance power inductors capable of handling large currents.　　To address these needs, at TAIYO YUDEN we have been using metallic magnetic materials with high DC superposition characteristics to optimize the design and other aspects of our MCOIL™ LSCN series multilayer metal power inductors—which have the advantage of allowing them to be made more compact and thinner—commercializing three products, including “LSCND1412FETR47ME,” which deliver 20% greater DC superposition allowable current and 10% smaller DC resistance compared to our previous products.　　In response to market needs, we will continue to expand and improve our product lineup with higher functionality and reliability, as well as smaller and thinner products.　　■ Application　　For use as a choke coil for power circuits in smartphones and other devices.　　■Characteristics　　*1 The saturation current value (Idc1) is the DC current value having inductance decrease down to 30%. (at 20℃)　　*2 The temperature rise current value(Idc2) is the DC current value having temperature increase up to 40℃.
