Estimation of ripple and inductance roll off when using powdered iron core inductors

Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Schijffelen, Jos (author), Bauer, P. (author), Zeman, M. (author)

Magnetic cores like powdered iron cores have a variable permeability, which is dependent on the magnetic motive force of the inductor windings. When inductors are designed using such materials, the inductance varies as a function of the inductor current. This causes a non-linear current to flow through the inductor. In this paper, mathematical...
