Abstract :
Iron powder is an excellent core material for a wide range of inductors in power electronics applications. A commonly used application for iron powder cores is as the output inductor in a buck pre-regulator in VRM designs. Several examples are discussed in designing inductors for this application. Designs using toroids are discussed as well as designs using the more compact "microcube" geometry.
