Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a work strategy uniting simulation and experimental results in order to optimize the design of two types of circular spiral inductors: standard and variable width spiral for the purpose of realize them. These inductors will be integrated in a boost micro converter. At first, we present the geometrical and electrical modelling of these inductors. We propose a comparison between the electrical and the electromagnetic behaviour of a standard and a tapered coil at 3 MHz. An application of our components in a boost micro converter is presented. The results presented in this article are based on the following characteristics of micro converter: output voltage 3 V, maximum current 5 A, output power 3.75 W, frequency of operation 3 MHz. The schematic simulation allows to explicit the behaviour of the inductor and the micro converter by analysing the wave’s form of currents and voltage. The prototyping process and the characterization of inductors took place at LAPLACE laboratory, Team MDCE, Toulouse, France.
