The authors present a technique for the prediction of key parameters and associated geometrical selection of magnetic cores necessary for the design of transformers used in switching power supplies, and other applications of interest to power electronics. The technique is based on a general formulation and solution of the governing electromagnetic field equation utilizing variational methods. The technique is applicable to both low- and high-frequency designs, and is powerful in handling nonlinear magnetic materials. A computer-aided-design program was developed applying the technique presented and used to predict magnetic core geometry as well as winding window areas and turns for specified transformer parameters. Final designs were tested and shown to exhibit the performance required of a dc-to-dc conversion circuit using a flyback converter.
