Abstract
This paper studies the high-frequency high-efficiency transformer design. Several novel concepts are proposed to reveal the essence of the transformer design. In order to minimize the winding loss, several winding structure are proposed and compared. The planar transformer winding with PCB or spiral windings are discussed. The key factors to achieve the low winding losses are presented. The transformer design of the LLC resonant converter is investigated. The impacts on integration of magnetizing inductance and leakage inductance are studied.
