Planar technology
What do we mean by the term "planar technology"? A planar transformer or inductor are low-profile magnetic components that sit at the same level as the “motherboard” PCB. Planar cores reduce the space requirements, increase the power density and the overall performance. Its design and use are possible due to tooled ferrite core shapes that are available. Champs Technologies provides a range of components based on ferrites ER, EE, PQ, and others available, whose input voltage range is from few volts up to 400.
The benefits of planar technology include low profile height, low leakage inductance, repeatable leakage inductance and capacitance, volumetric efficiency (small size), low turns count that improves Cu loss, optimised core cross-section lowers core loss, large core surface promotes heat transfer, PCB construction yields the lowest Cu loss, AC resistance and proximity Cu loss minimised, and the opportunity to embed planar into PCB modules.
Low profile transformers and inductors
Champs Technologies' standard components are ideal for designers who need high efficiency, low profile planar transformers and inductors, which are ideal for high-frequency applications with restrictive space requirements. Their standard planar cores enable customers to adjust the leg length and window height without new tooling. The final core specification can be tailored to exactly accommodate the planar conductor stack height, with no wasted space.
Reference designs
Reference designs help you to speed up your time to market. Champs Technologies have created a range of reference designs for when dimensions are restricted and customers' performance specifications have to be exactly met. These blueprints are ready to be added to your device design or enhanced and modified to make adding a planar transformer or inductor as quick and easy as possible to speed up your product delivery.
Custom / embedded solutions
If you don’t know which magnetic component you need for your design, then Acal BFi and Champs will work together with you to create a tailored, unique solution. We can create a custom discrete component that meets your application's exact specifications.
Reduce costs and time to market with our embedded solutions. Champs Technologies has the capabilities and experience to create PCB designs, embedding efficient and high-quality planar components, and creating a design that includes all your power components.
