A unique text on the theory and design fundaments of
inductors and transformers, updated with more coverage on the
optimization of magnetic devices and many new design
examples
The first edition is popular among a very broad audience of
readers in different areas of engineering and science. This book
covers the theory and design techniques of the major types of
high-frequency power inductors and transformers for a variety of
applications, including switching-mode power supplies (SMPS) and
resonant dc-to-ac power inverters and dc-to-dc power converters. It
describes eddy-current phenomena (such as skin and proximity
effects), high-frequency magnetic materials, core saturation, core
losses, complex permeability, high-frequency winding resistance,
winding power losses, optimization of winding conductors,
integrated inductors and transformers, PCB inductors,
self-capacitances, self-resonant frequency, core utilization factor
area product method, and design techniques and procedures of power
inductors and transformers. These components are commonly used in
modern power conversion applications. The material in this book has
been class-tested over many years in the author's own courses
at Wright State University, which have a high enrolment of about a
hundred graduate students per term. The book presents the growing
area of magnetic component research in a textbook form, covering
the foundations for analysing and designing magnetic devices
specifically at high-frequencies. Integrated inductors are
described, and the Self-capacitance of inductors and transformers
is examined. This new edition adds information on the optimization
of magnetic components (Chapter 5). Chapter 2 has been expanded to
provide better coverage of core losses and complex permeability,
and Chapter 9 has more in-depth coverage of self-capacitances and
self-resonant frequency of inductors. There is a more rigorous
treatment of many concepts in all chapters. Updated end-of-chapter
problems aid the readers' learning process, with an online
solutions manual available for use in the classroom.
