Current-Dependent Inductors: Using Non-Linear Inductance in Buck Converters and PFC Stages

Current-dependent inductors are power magnetics deliberately designed so that their inductance varies with DC current. Rather than treating inductance roll-off as only a limitation, designers can use a controlled inductance-versus-current […] Read the original post at Current-Dependent Inductors: Using Non-Linear Inductance in Buck Converters and PFC Stages
