Estimate Inductor Losses Easily in Power Supply Designs

by Travis Eichhorn, Applications Engineer, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, Calif., Power Electronics Technology, Apr 01 2005

Focus:
Precise calculation of inductor core and winding losses can demand difficult measurements. These losses can be estimated more easily using data sheet values and application parameters.

What you’ll learn:

• How to estimate inductor losses in dc-dc converter applications using data sheet values and application parameters
• How to understand power loss in inductors
• How to understand inductor-related parameters such as magnetomotive force, magentic-field strength, magnetic flux, magnetic-field density, permeability, and reluctance
