Advantages of planar transformers

Design features and benefits of using planar transformers:

Planar transformers are an excellent alternative to conventional transformers and inductors with a wire wounds. The basis for planar transformers is multi-layered printed circuit boards.

Today, the development of planar transformers requires the use of components with minimum dimensions, because the dimensions of the electronics are constantly decreasing.

Planar power transformers

The design of Planar Power Transformers can be performed with external components, such as a small monolayer or multilayer board, or as a multilayer printed circuit board.

Advantages of planar transformers:

1. Small

2. Have excellent temperature characteristics

3. Have a low leakage inductance

4. Have excellent repeatability properties

5. Due to the higher surface area of the core with respect to its volume, the heat resistance of such devices can be 2 times lower than in a conventional wire wound transformer. This is based on the fact that the effective volume of the core remains the same.
