SBIR Phase I: Nano-Engineered Materials for High Frequency Switching Power Supplies

这个第一阶段的小企业创新研究项目将研究用于5mhz以上工作的开关电源的纳米工程材料的合成和加工。传统材料在频率高于1至5 MHz水平时具有过多的涡流损耗，使其不适合更高频率的应用。单分散的纳米工程材料在实现甚高频（1ghz）工作的同时，将不可避免的涡流损耗保持在可接受的水平上，具有突破性的潜力。在第一阶段，这项研究将表明，商业上有用的，纳米工程材料的开关电源应用可以生产。第二阶段的努力将寻求优化工艺和生产原型铁氧体组件。第三阶段将使该技术商业化。如果成功，这项研究将有助于推出小型化开关电源。所提出的研究将提供高频电源市场迫切寻求的材料相关突破。潜在的特定客户包括电气、电子和通信行业。该技术还将及时满足SMD应用的多层芯片电感器小型化的预期市场趋势。＊＊＊

*** 9661477 Pirzada This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research project will investigate the synthesis and processing of nano-engineered materials for switching power supplies operating above 5 MHz. Conventional materials have excessive eddy current losses at frequencies above 1 to 5 MHz levels, making them unsuitable for higher frequency applications. Monodisperse, nano-engineered materials offer breakthrough potential in enabling very high frequency (1 GHz) operation while maintaining unavoidable eddy losses to an acceptable level. During Phase I, this research will show that commercially useful, nano-engineered materials for switching power supply applications can produced. Phase II effort will seek to optimize the process and produce prototype ferrite components. Phase III will commercialize the technology. If successful, this research would help launch miniaturized switching power supplies. Proposed research would provide the material related breakthrough eagerly sought by high frequency power supplies market. Potential specific customers include the electrical, electronic, and communication industries. The technology will also be timely for the anticipated market trend towards miniaturization of multilayer chip inductors for SMD applications. ***
