Abstract

Inductor-on-silicon research to date has focused on optimizing technologies for maximum power density and efficiency, with most design procedures based on computationally intensive methods. In this paper, a simple and intuitive method for designing microinductors based on a given dc-dc converter specification, which includes accurate models for all loss components, is presented. A detailed examination of variations in designs to realise the same circuit performance is presented. Finally, finite element analysis simulations demonstrating the accuracy of the models are given, along with measured results.
