Abstract

Interleaved DC-DC converter employing closecoupled inductors is a popular topology among other power converters topologies. Close-coupled inductors allow the power converter to achieve high power density and high efficiency. This paper proposes a novel magnetic structure of close-coupled inductors suitable for increasing the thermal handling capability. The proposed magnetic structure is combined of different magnetic materials, namely, ferrite and powder cores. The design method of the integrated close-coupled inductors are presented. Furthermore, this design method is considering the DC bias superposition characteristics, and the iron and copper losses as well. A 300W prototype is built to validate the proposed analysis. Finally, excellent heat dissipation of the proposed magnetic structure of the integrated close-coupled inductors is also reported.
