Present needs in efficiency and integration are driving research towards the miniaturization of power converters. Among the latest components to achieve the desired degree of integration are cored micro-inductors and they are still one of the hardest devices to optimize, due to the high number of freedom degrees in their fabrication. In this paper, a comprehensive design procedure for these micro-inductors is presented. The proposed method makes it possible to design the optimal device in a single iteration. It also allows the designer to easily ascertain the limits of the inductor in terms of handled current and losses and provides valuable physical insight on the output of the process.
