Question regarding general schematic detail for transformers

dakupoto · 2014-12-10T03:54:47+00:00

Could some electronics guru please help ? Maybe this is a very silly question, so pardon me. In a schematic, a transformer is generally shown with 2 -3 parallel bars in the middle to indicate the core. Often, I have seen the parallel bars replaced by a thick, solid bar. So, do the parallel bars represent a laminated core transformer and the thick single bar represent a ferrite core transformer. Any hints, suggestions would be of help. Thanks in advance.

Many years ago, a non-EE colleague was very amused to see my Texas TTL databook[1] open at the 'bi-directional bus drivers' page.

[1] Oh the yellow[2] rows of Texas are the data books for me! [2] Ok, at the time they were browny orange.
