Ferroxcube Ferrite Efd Cores Transformer Core

Economic Flat Design (EFD) power
transformer cores offer a signifi cant
advance in circuit miniaturization. Their
low build height and high throughput
power-density make them ideally suited
to applications where space is at a
premium.
Throughput power of a ferrite core
transformer is essentially proportional
to its volume. So the transformer
is one of the main limitations in a
DC-DC converter's size. Now, with
the introduction of the EFD system, a
signifi cant reduction in transformer core
height has been achieved.
EFD transformer cores combine
both extreme fl atness with a very
high throughput power-density for
frequencies up to 1 MHz and higher.
Every transformer, based on the EFD
range, has a lower building height than
any other existing low-profi le design
with the same magnetic volume. This
is achieved by placing the centre pole
of the core always in the centre of
the fi nished transformer, thus making
maximum use of the winding area.
