    SMPS transformers without datasheet: how to proceed with power supply design.

    Hi, Well you do have the ferrite material so you can get all the specs for the core (Bs, Br, Hc etc.) on the web (see TDK PC40). You can also measure the P/S ratio, leakage inductance, magnetizing inductance etc. Depends what you are looking for.. Hope this helps. Ken

    [SOLVED] What are the PCB manufacturing challenges in making spiral traces for planar magnetic

    Thanks for your inputs. For now I guess I'll work with those who don't see an issue!

    [SOLVED] What are the PCB manufacturing challenges in making spiral traces for planar magnetic

    But then, what if we were straight lines? Wouldn't it be the same (same metal density, closely spaced, copper thickness)? Btw, these were mostly answers I got from Chinese manufacturers who couldn't clearly explain the issues except to say "we don't do spiral traces" ! I am still puzzled...

    [SOLVED] What are the PCB manufacturing challenges in making spiral traces for planar magnetic

    Hi, I am currently designing a planar magnetic using spiral traces acting as primary/secondary coils. Although I was able to get a few prototypes done, most of the PCB fab say they do not do spiral traces PCBs (apparently they don't have the capability!) but it is unclear why. This is...
