Integrated coupling inductance of circuit board
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a coupling inductor, and more particularly, to a coupling inductor with a high coupling coefficient.
Background
In modern electronic devices, coupled inductors are widely used in various circuits to perform functions such as signal transmission, filtering, and energy conversion. Conventional coupled inductors generally have problems of low coupling coefficient, large volume, high manufacturing cost and the like, and limit the application of the conventional coupled inductors in high-performance and miniaturized electronic equipment. The technical advantage of the coupled inductor is that it is capable of effectively canceling current ripple through magnetic coupling, thereby improving power conversion efficiency, reducing the size of the magnetic element, and obtaining a faster transient response. Compared with the traditional discrete inductor, the coupled inductor has more excellent performance in multiphase power supply topology, can obviously reduce current ripple and reduce conduction loss and switching loss of circuit elements.
In addition, the coupled inductor can be designed to improve the performance by optimizing the coil structure and adopting novel magnetic materials. For example, the inductance can be increased under the condition of high current by adopting a negative coupling design, and the phenomenon of magnetic saturation is avoided. This design allows the coupled inductor to exhibit higher reliability and stability in high current applications. Although various improvements exist, in practical applications, it is still difficult for conventional coupled inductors to meet the requirements of high coupling coefficient, miniaturization and low cost at the same time.
Therefore, a better solution is needed to solve the above problems.
