Inductor Design Flow Chart

Inductor design procedure is an important to follow for getting the targeted inductance value with a proper functioning and decent efficiency.

These steps depends mainly on 3 things

1. Proper selection of core,
2. Calculation of required turns, and
3. Proper selection of winding wire.

The complete design steps and flow shown in below flowchart for better understanding.

The derivation of area product equation and number of turns equation clearly explained in inductor design equations.

A_E – Effective cross-sectional area of core

A_W – Core window area

AP – Area product

f_s – Frequency

B_m – Peak flux density

K_w – Window space factor

J – Current density

a_w – Copper wire winding area
