Abstract

Planar PCB magnetic components have become the leading choice for low power applications due to the advantages of automated production with predictable behavior resulted in lower size and cost. Their compactness plays an important role in power density improvement, but also compromises the thermal performance. Thermal management issues are prominent in high power high density applications where the cooling of inner PCB layers is challenging. In this respect, accurate prediction of thermal performance at design stage is crucial. Commonly used thermal networks and Finite Element software provide fast results and accuracy respectively, but not together. In this paper a fast and accurate concept for estimating thermal performances is developed for high power PCB magnetics. The concept is verified with COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation and experimental data using a thermal camera image.
