Easy Design Procedure of PCB Inductors Using WEBENCH Coil Designer

Abstract

This paper describes the use of WEBENCH Coil Designer for generating wireless power transfer PCB induc-tors for low and medium power portable systems without the need of complex calculations or complex layout design. This tool is also used to generate the design files that engi-neers can include in their final designs. These results are of great importance in the wireless charging domain, with ap-plicability from mobile phones to industrial equipment charging. The designed coil inductors can also be used in medical equipment by printing them on flexible materials. To minimize the cost and design time for new products, the use of a specialized tool, like WEBENCH Coil Designer, is recommended for new and experienced engineers. Switching to PCB inductors is more cost effective and creates more stable inductors with precise electrical parameters and good repeatability. images
