High–Frequency Magnetic Components

This unique text explains how to analyze magnetic devices and design integrated and discrete high–frequency magnetic components. It examines the design techniques of the major types of inductors and transformers used for a wide variety of high–frequency applications, including switching–mode power supplies (SMPS) and resonant DC–to–AC power inverters and DC–to–DC power converters. This new edition is fully updated to represent the growing area of magnetic component research. With more rigorous treatment of many of the concepts, the second edition includes physics–based descriptions of integrated inductors and models of discrete inductors, transformers, and integrated magnetic devices.  As well as the most up–to–date references, this edition includes  clear and detailed description of magnetic device optimization  revised information on core losses and complex permeability  more in–depth coverage of self–capacitances and self–resonant frequency of inductors  many new design examples related to real–world applications, and updated end–of–chapter problems for the reader to test their learning  a modified solutions manual available through the companion website With case studies, summaries of the key concepts, review questions and problems, this second edition is essential for graduates, senior level undergraduates and professors in the area of power electronics, in addition to electrical and computer, electromechanical, and biomedical engineering. It is also a valuable reference guide for design engineers of power electronics circuits, high–frequency transformers and inductors in areas such as SMPS and RF power amplifiers and circuits
