PaytonTechV1Review: Benefits of Planar Magnetics
by Jim Marinos, Payton Planar Magnetics, YouTube, Sep 16 2011
Focus:
In just under 5 minutes, this slide-show style video, describes the possible design
options, applications, and advantages of using planar magnetic transformers and inductors
in power conversion. This video briefly lists possible voltage, current, and winding
configurations; discusses applications that may benefit from planar magnetics and the
application requirements that are driving use of planar magnetic components. This video
lists key magnetics design requirements an engineer should look for; discusses the
electrical and mechanical benefits of planar magnetics including pre-tooled windings,
well-defined geometry, predictable electrical parameters, and high repeatability. It also
discusses parameters such as copper utilization, proximity, efficiency, and size. In
addition, this video discusses the advantages of a new core shapes and a new core geometry
. It also spends some time describing multiple examples of planar magnetic components.
What you’ll learn:
- How to understand the benefits of planar transformers and inductors in power electronics applications
