Webinar | Discover SmartNetics 2026.2: New features for Planar magnetic design

Discover 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔.𝟐 – 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 and explore how the latest release streamlines the design, validation, and PCB integration of planar inductors and transformers. Planar magnetics offer several advantages, including reduced height, improved heat dissipation thanks to a greater surface area, and enhanced cost-effectiveness and reproducibility through mature PCB manufacturing technology. However, PCB-based implementations can increase design time and engineering costs, as winding routing is complex and even minor design changes may require significant layout modifications.
