Use in high magnetic field (up to 1T) applications

Jose Toledo

Targetting medical applications like Magnetic Resonance, electronics must stand residual -yet high- magnetic fields. Maybe 100 mT or lower. The most critical component is the shielded inductor. Does anyone have experience or an educated guess on wheter SimpleSwitcher modules are usable in such applications or not? Maybe other DC/DC modules?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Hello,
Apologies for the late reply.
A 1T magnetic field will be too strong and it could saturate the inductors. We haven't done any testing of this nature on any of our devices therefore it would be difficult to really estimate if our modules would be able to withstand that.
