MADMIX
Power Inductor Measurement
The MADMIX inductor measurement system is the standard for measuring power inductors AC-losses under real-life, large-signal triangular flux excitation conditions.
Key Features
- Hard-switched voltage, triangular current excitation
- Variable frequency (10kHz-10MHz), voltage (0.5-70V), DC-bias (0-48A), duty-cycle (5-95%) and temperature (-45- +225°C)
- AC-loss, core/winding-loss measurement
- Self-heating measurement
- Coupled-inductor measurement
Benefits
- Understanding losses in power inductors
- Safe-operating area determination under real-life operation
- SPICE Model extraction
- Non-linear effects investigation such as saturation
Applications
- Development of inductors
- Research magnetic materials
- Characterization of inductors
- Characterization of magnetic materials (for inductors, BLDC motors…)
- SPICE model generation for SMPS design
- Inductor comparison and benchmarking
Use Case
- Inductor manufacturers
- Research institutes
- Power-supply design houses
