Power Transformer
Planar Transformer
❖ Introduction
Planar transformers have some advantages over wound transformers.
The cores have wider surface areas than traditional E, EC or EP cores
which allows for smaller numbers of turns in the windings. The wider
core areas also enable lower DC resistance of the copper.
❖ Advantage
• Low profile surface mount planar design
• Lower leakage inductance
• Less AC winding resistance
• Offers high efficiency
• Planar technology offers excellent reliability and repeatability
• Custom designs available
❖ Application
• Used in push-pull, half-bridge and full-bridge topologies
• Use in high-current, isolated or non-isolated power supply
