Analysis of Switching Ferrite Cores as Circuit Elements

Extensive use of Ferrite cores in switching circuits has necessitated the development of a theoretical analysis of the switching core which will yield easy manipulations and act as a tool for the design engineer. Approximations introduced in the analysis based on physical concepts of flux reversal are themselves complex. In the present article an analysis is presented based on the flux-time curve of the core and simple cases of core loading are dealt with.
