Hello All,
I might be going out on a limb here, but I read Steve's original question
differently. "Which way up the chip inductor is mounted" sounds like an
assembly, not a layout related question, i.e. how Q and L is affected if the
chip inductor is placed up-side-down.
If this is the case, I'd guess Q can vary in some cases. For example chip
components with planar spiral inductors usually have an asymmetric vertical
structure (as in http://www.avxcorp.com/docs/techinfo/aculmlc.pdf Fig 1)
which seems to have a "right way up". The mentioned example is in an 1206
or 0805 package, so it's not hard to mount it up-side-down which means that
the small inductor structure will be closer to the board with possibly more
parasitic capacitance to any copper structure under it. In theory, at
least. This should influence Q somewhat.
Steve, what's the article you've mentioned?
Regards,
Sandor

All,
I ran across a paper by Harada, Sasaki, and Kami in the IEICE transactions
that concluded that the number of vias per pad had a significantly greater
effect on reducing inductance than the pad size/orientation. That is,
given good pad construction as detailed in the Roy, Smith, and Prymak,
increasing the pad size, or width to length ratio has less effect on
reducing the mounted inductance than adding more vias. Harad, Sasaki, and
Kami had typical reduction values of 500pF for configurations studied.
IEICE Trans. Commun., Vol E83-B, No. 3, March 2000: "Controlling
Power-Distribution Plane Resonance in Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards",
Takashi Harada, Hideki Sasaki, and Yoshio Kami.
Roy, Smith and Prymak do not discuss ringing effects of low ESR caps. Does
anyone have any data/papers on that?
Ken

Subject: [SI-LIST] : CHIP INDUCTOR Q AND L AS FUNCTION OF
ORIENTATION?
I have recently read an article which suggests that the Q and Inductance of
many chip inductors will differ depending upon
which way up the inductor is mounted. Would anyone care to comment on this?
Thanks in advance
