Anyone designed a transformer( planar before? not sure how to start
Sniper2 , 11-26-2024, 06:34 PM
not all the other work that comes after

got some working winding numbers man that was a lot of math.... didnt even start pcb part 😭
Sniper2 , 12-14-2024, 07:57 PM
i am back
Sniper2 , 12-14-2024, 07:58 PM
math was a real pain
QDrives , 12-14-2024, 08:34 PM
I did not feel a thing 😂

restudiiing magnetics was hard since that is way more niche then normal electronics
Sniper2 , 12-14-2024, 08:45 PM
+ i am still winging it
Sniper2 , 12-14-2024, 08:45 PM
and overcompensating a lot with oversized stuff
Sniper2 , 01-15-2025, 08:26 PM
soon well see if it is golden or junk
Sniper2 , 01-29-2025, 08:51 PM
so
Sniper2 , 01-29-2025, 08:51 PM
mechanicaly it does not fir 0.1-0.2mm mitake
Sniper2 , 01-29-2025, 08:51 PM
but round one does
Sniper2 , 01-29-2025, 08:51 PM
time to measure and assemble
Sniper2 , 01-29-2025, 08:52 PM
+try sandpaper
QDrives , 01-29-2025, 09:36 PM
As in the ferrite core does not fit???
Sniper2 , 01-30-2025, 05:36 AM
No ill make it fit somehow
QDrives , 01-30-2025, 03:43 PM
Dremel? 😂
Sniper2 , 01-30-2025, 04:37 PM
sand paper and tons of manual fieling
Sniper2 , 01-30-2025, 04:38 PM
@QDrives i fit but didnt have time to measure but i also bought the WRONG clip size
Sniper2 , 01-30-2025, 04:38 PM
isolating tape will do for now
QDrives , 01-30-2025, 04:43 PM
No 3D models?
Sniper2 , 01-30-2025, 05:16 PM
IT IS TOLERANCES
Sniper2 , 01-30-2025, 05:17 PM
also i think i used a tolerance wrong and ended shrinking something not makeing it larger
Sniper2 , 01-30-2025, 05:17 PM
but i managed to make stuff merge
Sniper2 , 01-30-2025, 05:18 PM
inducttance measurement on Friday + compared to xcel
Sniper2 , 01-31-2025, 06:46 AM
Measured but nothing makes sense
Sniper2 , 01-31-2025, 06:47 AM
I set up or did something clearly wrong
Sniper2 , 01-31-2025, 06:12 PM
yea i need to get a better RLC meter
Sniper2 , 01-31-2025, 06:12 PM
the old one i have neasures a inductabce as a capacitance
QDrives , 01-31-2025, 09:04 PM
Do you have a scope and function generator?
Sniper2 , 02-01-2025, 09:45 AM
not at home
Sniper2 , 02-01-2025, 09:45 AM
i plann to use ring tester after i get my hands on a scope
Sniper2 , 02-01-2025, 09:57 AM
i have a place in mind and i plann to use a polymer type 10-15nF cap and 1K ohm resistor and then PWM it at 1kHz and count rings and math it out
Sniper2 , 02-03-2025, 05:13 PM
first round of measurements is a bit dissapointing
Sniper2 , 02-03-2025, 10:13 PM
math problem
Sniper2 , 02-03-2025, 10:13 PM
if it iis this i am +-10% from target
Sniper2 , 02-03-2025, 10:13 PM
but man leackage is 10-15% anyway
Sniper2 , 02-04-2025, 10:44 AM
No
Sniper2 , 02-04-2025, 10:44 AM
But somehow I get half of what I expected
QDrives , 02-04-2025, 03:19 PM
Was this on a special test board or a 'production' board?
Sniper2 , 02-04-2025, 03:37 PM
test
Sniper2 , 02-04-2025, 06:26 PM
yea some cores seem to be with single datasheet and some are in pairs in datasheet
Sniper2 , 02-04-2025, 06:26 PM
that is why i got some right and some wrong
Sniper2 , 02-05-2025, 08:11 PM
yea so aparently u have systematicaly half the inductand because i have half the needed turns.....
Sniper2 , 02-05-2025, 08:12 PM
i can stick 4 PCB in this so i sort of can save it but a smaller design is wrecked since i can only fir 1 PCB in there
QDrives , 02-06-2025, 03:31 AM
I assume you need the trace width for the current and do not want to go with more layers?
Sniper2 , 02-06-2025, 04:25 AM
Yea
