Boost Converter Chokes

Boost converter chokes are critical for regulating current flow and reducing voltage ripple in high-frequency power conversion systems. As a buyer, you’re likely dealing with design constraints related to switching losses, thermal inefficiencies, and EMI compliance. Our chokes directly address these challenges with precision-engineered magnetic performance. 

Rated System Voltage

Up to 1000 V DC

Tuning Frequency

Designed for switching frequencies between 50 kHz to 1 MHz

Inductance Tolerance

±10% (measured at specified current and frequency)

Core Material

Ferrite / Iron Powder / Sendust

Insulation Class

Class F or H depending on ambient and core heating profile

Product Description

High di/dt during switch transitions in boost topologies causes ripple that compromises downstream regulation. Our chokes use optimized core materials—like high-permeability ferrites or low-loss powder cores—tailored to suppress high-frequency ripple without magnetic saturation. This ensures stable operation in buck-boost and power factor correction (PFC) circuits. 

Maximum Hot Spot Temperature

130°C continuous, 150°C peak

Rated Harmonic Current

Up to 200% of nominal ripple current (based on CCM operation and load response)

Total Inductor Losses

≤ 10 W per device under full load at rated frequency

Dielectric Withstand Voltage

2.5 kV AC for 60 seconds between windings and core (as per IEC 61558)

Magnetic Flux Density (Bmax)

≤ 0.35 Tesla for ferrite cores, ≤ 1.0 Tesla for powdered iron

Short Circuit Thermal Withstand

2 x Irms for 2 seconds (tested per IEC 60076-6 thermal shock conditions)

Detuning Reactance (Uk%)

Not applicable for DC chokes (reactance profile varies with ripple spectrum)

Winding Configuration

High-current copper wire / Litz wire with interleaved or sector-wound arrangement

Mounting Configuration

PCB-mount or base-mount with resin-encapsulated or open-frame mechanical options

Acoustic Noise Level

≤ 45 dB at 1 meter (designed to suppress audible noise from switching harmonics)

Technical Advantages

Thermal loading is a key concern in densely packed power supplies. Our chokes are wound with high-current Litz or heavy-gauge copper conductors and potted with thermally conductive encapsulants. These features improve heat dissipation while maintaining low core and copper losses, even under continuous full-load conditions. 

Inconsistent inductance under load affects current mode control and duty cycle stability. We design boost converter chokes to maintain a flat μe (effective permeability) profile across wide temperature and current ranges, using gapped or composite core configurations. This keeps the converter’s peak current limit predictable, improving overall reliability.

Boost Converter Chokes

Minimizing EMI Without External Filters

EMI compliance is a frequent bottleneck in converter certification. Our chokes are designed with controlled leakage flux and winding geometry that naturally attenuate differential-mode noise. By doing this, they reduce the burden on downstream EMI filters, helping your design meet CISPR and FCC limits more easily. 

When switching frequencies rise above 100 kHz, core losses and skin effect become dominant. Boost converter chokes are frequency-tuned with core materials selected specifically for your switching range—whether for GaN, SiC, or high-efficiency MOSFET applications. This directly lowers converter losses and improves power density.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure magnetic stability under thermal stress in boost converter chokes?

Frigate uses core materials with low thermal drift to maintain stable inductance across wide temperature ranges. Thermal aging is simulated during testing to check for shifts in B-H characteristics. Each choke is validated for performance up to 150°C ambient. This ensures reliable operation in compact, high-temperature converter enclosures. 

 

What design approach does Frigate follow to minimize core losses at high switching frequencies?

Frigate selects core geometries and materials optimized for specific switching ranges, typically from 100 kHz to 1 MHz. Loss modeling is done using Steinmetz parameters specific to the application waveform. This allows Frigate to balance AC core loss with size and thermal limitations. Designs are verified with thermal imaging under dynamic conditions. 

How does Frigate handle thermal management in PFC chokes installed in enclosed capacitor panels?

Frigate selects core geometries and materials optimized for specific switching ranges, typically from 100 kHz to 1 MHz. Loss modeling is done using Steinmetz parameters specific to the application waveform. This allows Frigate to balance AC core loss with size and thermal limitations. Designs are verified with thermal imaging under dynamic conditions. 

How does Frigate control EMI in its boost converter chokes without external filtering?

Frigate applies precise winding layouts to limit parasitic capacitance and control leakage flux. Toroidal or shielded core options are used where space permits. Fringing fields are modeled and minimized using controlled air gap placement. This reduces radiated emissions and supports easier EMI certification for the end equipment. 

 

How does Frigate handle DCR optimization without compromising mechanical integrity?

Frigate uses high-fill factor windings with flattened copper or Litz wire to reduce DCR. Mechanical stress points are supported with thermal adhesives or bobbin-integrated reinforcement. Winding geometry is optimized for minimal skin effect at high frequencies. This ensures long-term reliability under vibration and thermal cycling.
