• Low profile power transformers
• Very high efficiency; low DCR
• Can be used in a wide range of topologies
• 1500 Vrms, one minute isolation (hipot) between
windings
• Power range: 120 – 800 Watts
• Frequency range up to 700 kHz
Planar transformers are an ideal solution for high
frequency switch mode power converters. They offer
higher power density and higher current handling
capability in a lower profile compared with traditional wire
wound transformers.
A new planar transformer design, constructed with flat
coil windings and copper plates rather than multi-layer
PCBs, increases the power level (up to 800 W) and
lowers the leakage inductance. This design exceeds the
critical electrical requirement for topologies such as push
pull, half bridge, or full bridge. The POE120PL, PL160,
PL300, MA5519-AL, and NA5871-AL are new generation
planar transformers offering efficiency up to 98%.
Coilcraft custom designed planar transformers are used
in a wide variety of IC reference designs, as shown on
page 6. For applications not covered in the table, custom
designs are available on request.

This graph represents core loss versus flux density for each series. By determining core loss and copper loss, the
overall efficiency can be estimated.
Efficiency (%) = (P
OUT
– (CORE_loss + COPPER_loss)/P
OUT
) × 100
where P
OUT
= desired V ×
I
Core loss is a function of core material, flux density swing (B = 2 × B
PK
), frequency, and core size. Use the following
equation for calculating peak flux density ( B
PK
) and then read CORE_loss from Y-axis on the graph.
B
PK
= K × Vin × Dmax / Freq × N
Where:
K = series factor (see table)
Vin = primary DC voltage
Dmax = maximum duty cycle
Freq = switching frequency in kHz
N = number of primary turns
