<p>Circuit models for multiwinding coupled magnetics
are summarized, compared, and unified. Multiwinding coupled
magnetics are classified into parallel coupled structure and series
coupled structure. For parallel coupled structure, the relation-
ships between a) inductance matrix model, b) extended cantilever
model, c) magentic circuit model, d) multiwinding transformer
model, e) gyrator-capacitor model, and f) inductance dual model
are investigated and discussed. These models represent identical
physical relationships in the multiphase coupled magnetics, but
show different fundamental principles and offer distinct design
insights. The circuit duality between the series coupled structure and parallel coupled structure is revealed. Design equations
linking these models are compared and unified. The models
and design equations are verified through theoretical derivation,
SPICE simulation, and experimental measurements.</p></div></div></div>
