Efficiency impact of air-cored inductors in multi-MHz power converters
- The efficiency impact of air-cored inductors used close to and beyond its cut-off frequency in multi-MHz converters is investigated. A method is presented to determine the converter switching frequency that causes the lowest losses in a given inductor. Influential parameters are analysed to optimize an inductor for a predefined switching frequency.
