Toroidal Chokes – An Ideal Choice For SMPS Applications – Miracle Electronics

1
With switched mode power supplies becoming so
popular and widespread, the number of
manufacturers of such SMPS products and
components have increased. With designs and
capabilities ranging across a wide assortment,
the types and specifications of each component
used to build the SMPS are also varied.
It is thus crucial to make the right selection.
While there are a multitude of components to be
chosen, theres one very special piece that needs
to be carefully chosen the choke in order to
fully utilize the advantages of switching
regulators. Choosing the right choke
type Choosing the right choke type isnt rocket
science! Its easy if you understand the demand
for higher power efficiencies and the
proliferation of distributed power architecture.
When looking from the perspective of
electromagnetic compatibility, toroidal chokes
are the ideal choice. The magnetic field lines
pass mainly through

the core the stray field and associated coupling
in neighbouring conductor tracks or components
remaining very small. Such efficient toroidal
chokes serve to buffer electrical energy, while
smoothing the output current. What are toroidal
chokes? Toroidal chokes are ring-shaped chokes
that are manufactured with iron-based amorphous
alloy. They offer a unique combination of
ultra-high saturation induction, high energy
storage capacities, and low core losses for high
frequency magnetic components, which are
significantly smaller than other conventional
components. How are toroidal chokes used
effectively? Toroidal chokes provide an efficient
means of filtering supply lines having in-phase
signals of equal amplitude, thus allowing the
equipment to meet stringent electrical radiation
specifications. Wide frequency ranges can be
easily filtered by using high and low inductance
toroidal chokes in series. Differential mode
signals can be substantial attenuated, when used
together with input and output capacitors. In
order to enable high energy storage and minimize
the resulting core losses, the toroidal core
volume is divided into multiple electrically
isolated regions, which is why the iron powder
used in the chokes is uniformly distributed with
microscopic air gaps to prevent eddy current
losses. Thus, the reduced permeability is
balanced by maximum energy storage and lower
losses. This makes toroidal chokes ideal for
application with high DC pre-magnetization. Where
