GaN and SiC-based converter

• Why Do Traditional Ferrite Chokes Fail in Modern High-Frequency Converters?

  As power densities increase and switching frequencies rise in GaN and SiC-based converters, traditional ferrite chokes often reach their physical limits. This post explores why Nanocrystalline and Amorphous CMC solutions from Dongguan JH Amorphous are becoming the new standard for high-performance power electronics.   The Limits of Ferrite in High-Density Design While cost-effective, ferrite cores suffer from relatively low Saturation Flux Density (Bs) and poor thermal stability (below 100 degree) In modern converters, this leads to: Thermal Runaway: Ferrites lose effectiveness as temperatures rise, a critical flaw in compact power supplies Size Constraints: To achieve the necessary inductance at high currents, ferrite chokes must become prohibitively large   The Amorphous Advantage Dongguan JH Amorphous specializes in Nanocrystalline cores that offer up to 10x the permeability of ferrite   This allows engineers to: 1. Reduce Volume: Shrink the EMI filter stage by up to 50% 2. Increase Efficiency: Lower copper losses due to fewer required windings 3. Broadband Suppression: Maintain high impedance across a wider frequency spectrum, addressing both conducted and radiated emissions   Are you looking to shrink your PCB footprint without compromising on EMI suppression? Let's discuss how our nanocrystalline technology can optimize your next-gen converter.
