Experienced SwitchMode Power Supply designers know that SMPS success or failure depends heavily on the proper design and implementation of the magnetic components. Parasitic elements inherent in high ...

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 ...

Continuing the chat from last time, we turn now to a circuit-related topic, that of current waveforms. The typical converter input waveform is shown with a static (dc) component and a ripple (ac) ...
