Automated optimization of high frequency inductors

The methods, structures modeling techniques, algorithms and results of a computer aided optimization (CAO) software-tool developed for the automated optimization of high frequency inductors used in switched mode power supplies (SMPS) are presented. The software tool represents a design expert suitable for integration in an expert system under development for the design and optimization of switched mode power supplies.
