Magnetics Engineering Resources

Practical engineering topics around topology, core selection, winding and EMI magnetic design.

Magnetics Resource

Transformer topology

LLC, PSFB, flyback, active-clamp, push-pull and bridge topologies impose different electrical and magnetic requirements.

Core material selection

Sendust, MPP, High-Flux, ferrite, amorphous and nanocrystalline materials have different loss, bias and frequency characteristics. Selection should follow the operating point rather than a generic preference.

Winding construction

Litz wire, planar copper foil and triple-insulated wire can address different high-frequency, insulation and mechanical requirements.

EMI magnetics

Common-mode and differential-mode chokes should be considered according to noise mode, current path, impedance behaviour and thermal requirements.
