inductor - What is this symbol on the schematic?


What is this element on the far right of schematic described as "270 OHM"? Is this some kind of inductor? What is its purpose in this device (this is a reference design of dc-dc power supply of sim900 taken from its datasheet) and what would be an exemplary part number? power supply section of sim900



Answer



It is a ferrite bead with a 270Ω impedance.


Ferrite beads have a number of symbols in use in schematics. There hasn't been a standardization in the symbol like for other components. Many people treat them like a simple inductor, some like a resistor, some with a special symbol they made for it. Some of the symbols seen include:

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
