Abstract:

Powdered iron core (PIC) inductors demand a considerable design margin to avoid magnetic saturation, limiting the converters’ power density. This article formulates a frequency-domain method to assess the saturation’s influence on the current ripple, and proposes an optimal variable switching frequency scheme to offset the harmonics growth. A Totem-Pole rectifier prototype is built to estimate this scheme. Its harmonics distortion is reduced by 0.69% without causing instability or extra power loss. Thus, deeper saturation is allowed for PIC inductors and the saturation margin is narrowed, shrinking inductor’s volume by 2/3 to reach a higher power density.
