Planar Magnetic Technology for Headphones Planar magnetic technology is being revived by a few specialized HiFi audio companies. These companies produce headphones with planar drivers that are based on the old school that deliver an incredibly full, rich sound distinctive. This paper examines the intrinsic features of a planar magnet device by studying the leakage capacitance, inductance and winding and conduction losses from winding. A method is also suggested to reduce the parasitic elements. Low profile or low vertical height Compared to traditional wire-wound magnetics, planar magnetic technology provides lower profile and greater efficiency. It also minimizes leakage capacitance and parasitic capacitance. This also permits the use of a smaller-sized core, which lowers the overall cost of the device. Additionally, it does not require any clamping of the magnets. This makes it ideal for power electronic devices. Another advantage of planar magnetic technology is that it is smaller and lighter than traditional headphones. It can also handle an increased frequency range without distortion. This is due to the diaphragm, which is flat, that is employed in these devices, which is often composed of a thin film and includes a conductor trace on it. The film reacts quickly to audio signals and create high sound pressure levels. The audio produced by these devices will be richer and more precise. Many audiophiles love it, particularly those who prefer listening to music at home or in the office. It is important to remember that a planar magnet driver requires a powered amplifier as well as a digital audio converter to work correctly. The resultant sound is more natural and precise than that of dynamic drivers. Planar magnetic drivers are also able to respond much more quickly to changes in the audio signal, which means that they are the perfect choice for listening to music that is fast. Despite their benefits however, planar magnetic drivers come with many disadvantages. Their price is partially due to the massive amount of magnetic material needed to operate. Another drawback is their weight and size that could pose an issue when trying to make them portable. Wide band gap (WBG) devices Wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors are a type of material which have higher electrical properties than silicon-based devices. They are able to withstand higher voltages and current densities. They are therefore perfect for optoelectronics and power electronics applications. Wide band gap semiconductors like gallium nitride and silicon carbide can offer significant improvements in terms of performance, size, and cost. They are also environmentally friendly than traditional silicon-based devices. These advantages make them attractive for companies that make satellites and aerospace. Planar magnetic drivers work on the same basic principles as dynamic drivers, using an electrical conductor moving between fixed magnets whenever audio signals are passed through them. Planar magnetic drivers, however, utilize a flat array of conductors that are attached or embedded into an elongated diaphragm that resembles a thin film instead of a coil. Conductors are made up of coils that are placed on the diaphragm, and are placed directly between two magnets. This causes the push/pull phenomenon that creates the diaphragm's to move. This technology creates distortion-free reproduction of music and produces an unique sound that a lot of listeners find pleasing. The driver moves uniformly and quickly due to the even distribution of magnetic force across the entire surface and absence of a coil behind the diaphragm. This produces a clear and accurate sound. The resulting sound is known as isodynamic, orthodynamic, or magnetically-incident. However, due to their complex design and higher price point headphones with planar magnetic drivers are usually more expensive than headphones with other driver technologies. However, there are a number of excellent, affordable options like the Rinko by Seeaudio and S12 Z12 by LETSHUOER that were recently released. Power electronics Unlike traditional wire wound magnetic components, planar magnetics are better in dispersing heat. This lets them handle more power without creating excessive strain or audible strain. This makes them perfect for applications such as headphones. In addition to their improved efficiency, planar magnets also allow for greater power density. The technology is especially suited to applications such as electric vehicle fast charging, battery management and military systems. Planar magnetic drivers work in a different way than dynamic driver headphones. Dynamic driver headphones utilize an acoustic diaphragm, which is suspended by the voice coil. A flat array of conductors sits directly on the diaphragm and when an electromagnetic signal runs through the array, it creates an interaction between the push-pull magnets on both sides of the diaphragm. This produces soundwaves that move the diaphragm, and create audio. Because they have a greater surface-to volume ratio which is why planar magnetic devices are more effective than conventional magnetics. They can disperse heat more efficiently, which allows for higher switching frequencies, while keeping their maximum temperature rating. They have lower thermal sensitivities compared to wire-wound devices. This allows them to be employed in smaller power electronic circuits. To optimize a planar boost inductor, designers should be aware of several aspects, such as the fundamental design winding configuration, losses estimation, and thermal modeling. The ideal inductor features include low winding capacitances, low leakage inductance, and simple integration into a PCB. Additionally, it should be able to handle high currents and should be smaller size. The inductor must be compatible with multilayer PCBs with through-hole or SMD packages. Additionally, the copper thickness needs be sufficiently thin to limit eddy currents in the layers and to prevent thermal coupling between conductors. Flexible circuit-based planar winding In planar magnetics, flex-circuit-based windings can be used to create an extremely efficient resonance. They use a single-patterned conductor layer on dielectric film that is flexible and can be fabricated with a variety foils. A common choice is copper foil, which has superior electrical properties and is processed to allow termination features on both sides. The conductors of a flex-circuit are joined by thin lines which extend beyond the edges on the substrate. This gives the flexibility needed for automated bonding using tape. Single-sided flexes are available in many different thicknesses and conductive finishes. In a typical pair of planar headphones , a diaphragm will be sandwiched between two permanent magnets. The magnets vibrate in response to the electrical signals that are sent by your audio device. The magnetic fields produce an audio wave that travels across the entire surface of diaphragm. This piston-like motion prevents breakups and distortion. Planar magnetic headphones are able to reproduce a broad range of frequencies, notably at lower frequencies. The reason for this is that planar magnetic headphones have a wider surface area than traditional cone-shaped speakers, which lets them move more air. Moreover, they can also reproduce bass sounds with a much higher clarity and clarity. However they are costly to manufacture and require a powered amplifier and DAC to work correctly. Additionally, they are heavier and bulkier than traditional drivers, which makes them difficult to transport or be able to fit into smaller spaces. Also their low impedance needs an enormous amount of power to drive them which can add up quickly when you're listening to music at a high volume. Stamped copper winding Stamped copper windings are utilized in planar magnet technology to increase the window's utilization and decrease manufacturing costs. The method works by putting grooves on the coil body which ensure a precise layer of the windings. This technique helps to prevent deformations of the coil and improves tolerances. It also reduces the amount of scrap that is created during production and improves quality assurance. This kind of planar coil is typically employed in contactor coils as well as relay coils. It can also be used in ignition coils as well as small transformers. It is also used for devices with wire thicknesses as high as 0.05mm. The stamping process produces a uniform coil with high current density. The windings will be precisely placed. In contrast to traditional dynamic drivers, which use a voicecoil of conductor behind the diaphragm in order to create sound waves the planar magnetic headphones comprise a range of flat conductors placed directly on the thin diaphragm. When electronic signals are applied, the conductors vibrate, causing the motion of pistons that produce sound. In the end, headphones with planar magnetic technology can provide superior sound quality than other types of audio drivers. In addition to reducing weight and cost in addition, this technology could also help increase the bandwidth of planar magnetic transducers. This is crucial, since it allows them to work in a greater frequency range. It also reduces the power requirements of the driver. This new technology has certain disadvantages. It is difficult to develop a diaphragm made of thin film that can withstand the high temperatures needed for this type of technology. However, companies like Wisdom Audio have overcome this problem by creating an adhesive-free solution that can withstand temperatures up to 725degF (385degC). This allows them to produce high-quality audio without compromising on durability and longevity.
