I have a filter inductor that filters out the switching frequency of a class D amplifier for a work related project. Efficiency of the amplifier is important so I want the core loss in the inductor to be as small as possible without sending through too much of the switching frequency. I first thought that core losses was proportional to the inductance value, but after testing with different inductors I can't really see any difference in efficiency so I'm beginning to doubt that it's that simple. Could someone shed some light on this for me?
