Inductor In Medical Applications

ABC ATEC’s inductors and common mode chokes can be used in life-saving equipment like MRI machines, scanners, and other diagnostic tools while ensure the precise and stable operation, which is critical for patient safety and the accuracy of medical procedures. Our diversed product line offer wide range of choice for customers whether power management, filtering or energy storage function required, helping to advance medical technology in every aspect. Some common applications of inductors in the medical application and our recommended products as below.


1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Inductors are commonly used in the power supply units of medical equipment to filter and smooth the output voltage. Medical devices such as MRI machines, CT scanners, ultrasound systems, and patient monitors require clean and stable DC power to function correctly.Inductors are commonly used in the power supply units of medical equipment to filter and smooth the output voltage. Medical devices such as MRI machines, CT scanners, ultrasound systems, and patient monitors require clean and stable DC power to function correctly.

2. Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)

Many medical devices use switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) for efficient power conversion. Inductors are key components in SMPS circuits, where they help in stepping up or stepping down the voltage as required. For example, in a defibrillator, an inductor in the boost converter circuit stores energy and then releases it at a higher voltage to charge the capacitor that delivers the shock to the patient.

3. DC-DC Converters and Voltage Regulation

Medical equipment often requires different voltage levels for various components, such as microcontrollers, sensors, displays, and communication modules. Inductors are used in DC-DC converters within the power supply circuitry to step up or step down the voltage to match the needs of each component.
