Design of integrated magnetic elements using thick-film technology

One of the most important aims in the electronic industry is the integration of magnetic elements, since it allows the reduction of the size of power electronics equipment. This paper presents a method of designing integrated magnetic elements using thick-film technology. A DC-to-DC converter has been built and tested to validate this technology. Experimental results obtained and conclusions are also presented.
