Significant cost reductions and performance enhancements in planar magnetics have been introduced in recent years. These include replacing costly multilayer PCBs with lower-resistance flat coil ...

An interesting magnetic design technique used by today's power supply engineers is the blending of transformer and inductive functions of dynamic power conversion circuits on a single magnetic core ...

Planar transformers have been around for many years, and I have often wondered why they are not used more frequently. These usually SMT devices have a distinct density advantage and a high-frequency ...

In today's high-density switched-mode power supplies, transformers and inductors are the main contributors to their size, weight and volume. Magnetic integration is a solution where two or more ...
