Abstract :
Integration of magnetic elements is one of the most important aims in the electronics industry, since it allows a reduction in the size of power electronics equipment. This paper presents a method to design integrated magnetic elements using thick-film technology. A DC-to-DC power converter has been built and tested to validate this technology. Experimental results obtained and conclusions derived are also presented
