Abstract This article proposes a holistic and improved methodology for the inductors’ design in power electronic circuits operating at high frequencies. This methodology includes an analytical design, a finite element modeling of the electromagnetic behavior with JMAG software, a simulation analysis in a Simulink environment, and experimental verification of the effectiveness of inductor design in a laboratory-scale step-up boost power converter prototype. The holistic approach allowed us to achieve all target specifications such as maximum power (300 W), minimum voltage (60 V), inductance (1.77 mH), and maximum current ripple (1 A). It guarantees the losses’ minimization in core and copper (21.47 W), and marginal errors below 4% between the analytical, simulated, and experimental values.
