Abstract

Stray capacitance modeling of an inductor is essential for its RF equivalent circuit modeling and inductor design. Stray capacitance determines an inductor's performance and upper frequency limit. A method has been proposed for modeling the distributed stray capacitance of inductors by the finite element method and a node-to-node lumped capacitance network. The effects of wire insulation layer, ferrite core, number of segments used to model the circumference of a wire cross section, pitch and coil-to-core distances, and the capacitance between nonadjacent turns, etc., an an inductors' self-capacitance and calculation accuracy, have all been considered. The calculated equivalent lumped stray capacitance for a rod inductor with a ferrite core is compared to that estimated from measurement. Good agreement between them has been observed.
