The Importance of Estimating Power Losses in Consumer Power Supply Magnetic Components APPLICATION NOTE INTRODUCTION At high switching frequencies, inductors can play a significant role affecting the power loss in power supplies used in consumer electronics. While there is no shortage of tools to help engineers design and simulate power supplies, the amount of information available on the performance of an inductor at high frequencies is scarce. This application note presents the importance of identifying the accurate AC resistance of an inductor, and provides a design SRR1206 example for estimating power losses based on the Bourns® Model SRR1206 and SRR1260 inductors. This application note also illustrates that while core losses are still small compared to AC losses in many surface mount power inductors, core losses and thermal effects must be taken into consideration. THE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED The following example provides a guide to all the factors that must be taken into consideration SRR1260 when estimating power losses. The key component to consider is a forward converter, which is the industry-standard name for an isolated buck converter. The basic elements of the open loop section of a single-switch forward converter are shown in figure 1. The control circuit and feedback loop are omitted here for clarity. Input Transformer D1 L
