Download (Epcos) TDK Ferrite Magnetic Design Tool. The MDT software enables the calculation of application-related parameters for EPCOS ferrite cores and materials. It grants users access to digitized material data and corresponding graphical representations. The software’s user manual provides a comprehensive explanation of all its functions. The tool is available as both an online version, compatible with browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera, and as a downloadable version designed for Windows 7 and 10. However, it should be noted that the online version does not offer the same extensive range of functions as the desktop version.
The ferrite material list was updated according to the EPCOS Data Book 2017 “Ferrites and Accessories”. The new high-frequency material PC200 was added.
Among the features of the current MDT (Epcos) TDK Ferrite Magnetic Design Tool version are:
- Simulations based on user-defined core parameters
- Database expanded to include Steinmetz coefficients for power losses
- Display of complex permeability and impedance as a function of frequency
- Display of impedance Z as the relation between core impedance and frequency
- Transmittable power adjusted for skin and proximity effects (from the wire calculation menu)
- Calculation of the distortion factor (third harmonic) under specific circuit conditions at various temperatures
- Calculation of core loss as a function of signal form
- Specification of wire thickness as per American Wire Gauge (AWG)
