  Overall, server mainboards are a critical computing platform applied in data centers, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and other fields. With the increasing demand in the market, they are becoming one of the important trends in the future computing industry. When designing the driver chip on the mainboard of a server, engineers need to consider the characteristics of the inductors to ensure the efficiency, stability, and reliability of input and output conversion, thus meeting the product features of the server mainboard. Here are some of the key inductor characteristics that engineers need to consider:

  1. Inductance Value: The inductance value of an inductor affects the efficiency and stability of input/output conversion. Engineers need to select the appropriate inductance value to ensure the energy conversion efficiency of the server board reaches its optimal level.

  2. Leakage Inductance: The leakage inductance refers to the sensitivity of the inductor to the magnetic field, which affects the performance and efficiency of the inductor. Engineers need to choose an inductor with appropriate leakage inductance to ensure the efficiency and stability of input/output conversion.

3. DC Resistance of the Inductor: The DC resistance of an inductor generates energy loss, which affects the efficiency of input/output conversion. Engineers need to select an inductor with lower DC resistance to reduce energy loss and improve the efficiency of input/output conversion.

4. AC Impedance of the Inductor: The AC impedance of an inductor affects the efficiency and stability of energy conversion. Engineers need to select an inductor with appropriate AC impedance to ensure the efficiency and stability of input/output conversion.

5. Size and Shape of the Inductor: Selecting the appropriate size and shape of the inductor can minimize the footprint of the driving chip, thereby increasing the density of the server board.

6. Voltage and Temperature Tolerance of the Inductor: Engineers need to ensure that the selected inductor can withstand the maximum voltage and highest temperature during server operation to ensure the stability and reliability of the inductor.

 

  In summary, when designing the driving chip on the main circuit board of the server, engineers need to consider the characteristics of the above inductors to ensure the efficiency, stability, and reliability of input/output conversion, thereby meeting the product characteristics of the server board.
