摘要
This paper presents a generalized method which can facilitate the design and optimization of an inductor regardless of its application scenarios (DC inductors or AC inductors). It is a software-driven approach and also applicable to both entry level and experienced designer. User inputs just require the voltage/current waveform data across the inductor, desired inductance, and the design optimum goal along with the constraints. A user-friendly front panel (graphical user interface) is designed to reduce the difficulty of inductor design. The software analyzes inductor using magnetic equivalent circuit and explores the pareto-optimal designs by means of multi-objective evolutionary algorithm such as NSGA-II. Buck converter filter inductor is designed to illustrate the software workflow.
