A wire-integrated inductor used for DC-DC converter

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, a wire-embedded inductor is fabricated by flexible ferrite-polymer composite. The cooper in the wire is utilized as the winding to make the embedded inductor with flexible ferrite-polymer sheets. Different structures of the inductor are simulated and compared to optimize the design. Two 250nH inductors with 10cm length, 2mm width are made, and corresponding tests are executed on a buck demo board. The flexible inductor can output 15W with the highest efficiency achieving 70%. This type of inductor can replace traditional inductors in wearable devices and significantly increase the power density.
