Topic
Magnetics and EMC
Inductors, transformers and chokes designed, modelled and measured — and the EMC consequences of getting them wrong.
Magnetics is where a converter’s schematic meets its physics. This is the modelling work: finite-element automation, reviewable component models, and fitted equivalent circuits a SPICE simulator can actually use.
