Planar Magnetic Technology for Headphones Planar magnetic technology is being revived by a few specialist HiFi audio companies. These companies make headphones using old-school planar drivers that deliver a rich sound signature. This paper examines the intrinsic features of a planar magnet device by examining the leakage capacitance, inductance and winding and conduction losses in winding. In addition, a strategy to reduce these parasitic elements is proposed. Low profile or low vertical height Planar magnetics are more efficient and have a smaller profile than traditional wire-wound magnets. It also reduces leakage inductance and parasitic capacitance. This allows for a smaller size core to be employed, which reduces the cost of the device. In addition, it does not require any clamping of the magnets. This makes it perfect for use in power electronics devices. Another advantage of planar magnetic technology is that it is lighter and smaller than traditional headphones. It can also operate an increased frequency range without distortion. This is due to the diaphragm, which is flat, that is used in these devices, which is usually made of a thin layer and has a conductor trace on it. The film reacts quickly to audio signals, and can produce high pressure levels. The sound produced by these devices will be richer and more detailed. Many audiophiles prefer it, especially those who prefer listening to music at work or at home. It is important to keep in mind that a planar magnet driver requires a powered amplifier and digital audio converter to function properly. The resulting sound is much more natural and precise than that produced by dynamic drivers. Planar magnetic drivers are also able to respond to changes in audio signals quicker, which makes them ideal for listening to music that is fast. Despite their benefits however, planar magnet drivers do have some drawbacks. One of them is their price, which can be attributed to the massive amount of magnetic material that is required for them to operate. Their weight and size can be a hindrance particularly when they are being used as portable devices. Wide band gap (WBG) devices Wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors are a type of material that have better electrical properties than silicon-based devices. They are able to endure higher voltages and current density. This makes them ideal for optoelectronics and power electronics applications. Wide band gap semiconductors such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride can offer significant improvements in terms of performance, size, and cost. They are also more eco green than conventional silicon-based products. These features make them appealing to companies that make satellites and aerospace. Planar magnetic drivers work using the same principles as dynamic drivers. Conductors of electricity move between two magnets fixed when audio signals are passed through them. Planar magnetic drivers, however, employ a flat array of conductors encased or attached to a thin diaphragm-like film instead of coils. Conductors function as a set of 'coils' that are placed directly on the diaphragm and are placed between two magnets, causing the push/pull effect that causes the diaphragm to move. This technology creates distortion-free music reproduction. It also has a unique sound that many listeners find pleasing. The driver moves in a uniform manner and quickly due to the uniform distribution of magnetic force across the entire surface and the lack of a coil in the diaphragm. This produces a clear and precise sound. The resulting sound is known as isodynamic, orthodynamic, or magnetically-incident. Generally, headphones with magnetic drivers with planar design are more expensive than other types due to their complexity and price. However, there are a number of great, affordable options such as the Rinko by Seeaudio and S12 Z12 by LETSHUOER that were recently released. Power electronics Unlike traditional wire wound magnetic components, planar magnetics are more efficient at dissipating heat. This allows them to handle more power without causing undue strain or audible strain. This makes them perfect for headphones and other applications. In addition to their increased efficiency, planar magnetics also provide higher power density. The technology is ideally designed for applications such as electric vehicle charging, battery management, and military systems. Planar magnetic drivers work in a different way than dynamic driver headphones. Dynamic driver headphones utilize a diaphragm suspended by the voice coil. When an electromagnetic signal is sent through the array and the magnets on the opposite sides of the diaphragm are pulled together, a push-pull effect is produced. This creates soundwaves that move the diaphragm, and create audio. Due to their higher surface-to volume ratio, planar magnetic devices are more efficient than conventional magnetics. They can disperse heat more efficiently, which allows for higher switching frequencies, while keeping their maximum temperature rating. They also have lower thermal sensitivities than wire-wound devices. This allows them to be used in more compact power electronic circuits. To maximize planar magnetic in ear of a planar boost inductor, designers need to take into consideration a variety of factors, including core design winding configuration, losses estimation and thermal modeling. In the ideal scenario, the inductor will have low leakage inductance and winding capacitance, and be simple to integrate into the PCB. It should also be able handle high currents, and be of a compact size. In addition, the inductor must be compatible with a multilayer PCB with SMD or through-hole package. Additionally, the copper thickness needs to be thin enough to limit eddy currents in the layers and to prevent thermal coupling between conductors. Planar winding based on Flex circuits In planar magnetic technology, flex circuit-based windings are employed to make an inductor that is high-efficiency. They are made with dielectric films that are single-patterned and an individual-patterned copper foil. Copper foil is a popular choice since it has excellent electrical properties. It is also processed to allow termination features both on the front and back. The conductors in a flex circuit are joined with thin lines that extend beyond the edges of the substrate, which provides the flexibility needed for tape automated bonding (TAB). Single-sided flex circuits are offered in a wide variety of thicknesses and conductive coatings. In a typical pair of planar headphones, a diaphragm will be sandwiched between two permanent magnets. The magnets vibrate in response the electrical signals generated by your audio device. These magnetic fields produce the sound wave that moves across the entire surface of the diaphragm and creates a piston-like motion that prevents breakups and distortion. One of the primary benefits of planar magnetic headphones is their capacity to reproduce a larger frequency range, specifically in the lower frequencies. This is because they have a larger surface area than conventional cone drivers, allowing them to move more air. They also reproduce bass sounds with an increased level of clarity and details. Planar magnetic headphones can be costly to produce and require a powered amplifier as well as a DAC to function properly. They are also heavier and bigger than traditional drivers, making them difficult to transport. Also, their low impedance requires lots of power to drive them and can quickly add up when you're listening to music at high volumes. Stamped copper winding Utilizing stamped copper windings in planar magnetic technology can increase the window utilization rate and reduce manufacturing costs. The technique works by placing grooves on the coil body that support a layer-accurate position of the windings. This helps prevent deformations of the coil as well as improves the accuracy of the coil. This also reduces scrap and improves quality control. This type of planar coil is commonly used in contactor coils and relay coils. It can also be found in ignition coils and small transformers. It is also suitable for devices that have a wire thickness of up to 0.05 millimeters. The stamping creates an even coil with a high current density. It also ensures that the windings are properly placed on the coil body. Planar magnetic headphones, unlike traditional dynamic drivers that employ a voicecoil conductor in the diaphragm's thin surface, feature an array of conductors that are flat directly connected to the diaphragm's thin surface. When electronic signals are applied to these conductors, they vibrate, creating the motion of pistons that produce sound. As a result, headphones with planar magnetic technology can provide better sound than other types of audio drivers. This technology will increase the bandwidth of transducers. This is crucial, since it allows them to work in a greater frequency range. In addition, it reduces the power requirements of the driver. Nevertheless, there are some disadvantages of this new technology. For instance, it can be challenging to create an ultra-thin diaphragm with a thin film that can handle the extreme temperatures required by this type of technology. Manufacturers such as Wisdom Audio have overcome the problem by creating a solution that is non-adhesive and can withstand temperatures of up to 725 degF. This allows them to create audio with the highest quality without compromising durability or longevity.
