Abstract :
A new integrated magnetic full wave DC/DC converter is introduced. This converter incorporates an independent output inductor winding within the traditional three-leg magnetic core structure. The inductor winding can be separately designed to control the output current ripple. The cross-sectional area of the inductor core leg can be reduced dramatically. The operation and performance of the proposed circuit were verified on a 100 W prototype converter
