Planar transformer
Planar Transformers are devices used to exact standards with precise electrical characteristics such as capacitance, output, and aspect ratio.[1] They are used to carry out military and aerospace projects.
Advantages over conventional counterparts
- Bulleted list item
- Significantly reduced height (low profile)
- Greater surface area, resulting in improved
- heat dissipation capability.
- Greater magnetic cross-section area, enabling
- fewer turns
- Smaller winding area
- Winding structure facilitates interleaving
- Lower leakage inductance resulting from
- fewer turns and interleaved windings
- Less AC winding resistance
- Excellent reproducibility, enabled by winding structure [2]
