Abstract
Increasing the switching frequency for switch mode power supplies is one of methods to achieve smaller, lighter weight and cheaper power converters. This work investigates the opportunity of using two layer circular spiral inductors implemented in a 150 μm finished thickness printed circuit board for a high frequency DC-DC converter. The inductor was tested in a 5 W buck converter switching at 10 MHz. The converter achieved 84.7% peak efficiency converting 12 V to 5 V and 78%
efficiency converting 24 V to 5 V.
efficiency converting 24 V to 5 V.
