Coupled Inductors – MSD1278T
For high temperature
SEPIC applications
The MSD1278T series of coupled inductors was de-
signed for high temperature applications – up to 125°C.
The excellent coupling coefficient (k
≥
0.94) makes it
ideal for use in SEPIC applications. In SEPIC topolo-
gies, the required inductance for each winding in a
coupled inductor is half the value needed for two sepa-
rate inductors, allowing selection of a part with lower
DCR and higher current handling.
These inductors provide high inductance, high effi-
ciency and excellent current handling in a rugged, low
cost part. They are well suited for use as VRM induc-
tors in high-current DC-DC and VRM/VRD controllers.
They can also be used as two single inductors con-
nected in series or parallel, as a common mode choke
or as a 1 : 1 transformer.

1. When ordering, please specify
termination
and
packaging
code:
MSD1278T-105KLD
Termination: L
= RoHS compliant matte tin over nickel over phos bronze
Special order:
T
= RoHS tin-silver-copper (95.5/4/0.5) or
S
= non-RoHS tin-lead (63/37).
Packaging: D
= 13″ machine-ready reel. EIA-481 embossed plastic
tape (500 parts per full reel).
B
= Less than full reel. In tape, but not machine ready.
To have a leader and trailer added ($25 charge), use
code letter D instead.
2. Inductance shown for each winding, measured at 100 kHz, 0.1 Vrms, 0
Adc on an Agilent/HP 4284A LCR meter or equivalent. When leads are
connected in parallel, inductance is the same value. When leads are
connected in series, inductance is four times the value.
3. DCR is for each winding. When leads are connected in parallel, DCR is
half the value. When leads are connected in series, DCR is twice the
value.
4. SRF measured using an Agilent/HP 4191A or equivalent. When leads
are connected in parallel, SRF is the same value.
5. DC current, at which the inductance drops the specified amount from its
value without current. It is the sum of the current flowing in both
windings.
6. Equal current when applied to each winding simultaneously that causes
a 40°C temperature rise from 25°C ambient. See temperature rise
calculation.
7. Maximum current when applied to one winding that causes a 40°C
temperature rise from 25°C ambient. See temperature rise calculation.
8. Electrical specifications at 25°C.
Refer to Doc 639 “Selecting Coupled Inductors for SEPIC Applications.”
Refer to Doc 362 “Soldering Surface Mount Components” before soldering.
