     Driven by many markets that are closely related to the Internet, such as 5G, IoT, data centers, smart homes, access control equipment, automotive communications, etc. , the global demand for network equipment products has increased significantly.

     Now manufacturing enterprises are actively developing in the direction standardization, automation, intellectual, and the traditional network transformers are not satisfying the market’s requires. In response to these situations, the fully automated production of new chip network transformers has great advantages in productivity and performance and will become an important technical direction for the industry in the future.  

     Comparison of traditional network transformers and new chip network transformers: 

 

Tranditional Network Transformers

New Chip Network Transformers

Type of Size

Models are selected according to package size, circuit structure, soldering type, number of pins, etc., resulting in complex models.

Standardized design, material structure simplification, directly remove the traditional plastic shell, models are greatly reduced

Volume

The market requires that the panel area is getting smaller and smaller, and the motherboard space is difficult to use.

Separate design, consists of independent small components, small products size, also can according to actual motherboard space to adjusted the shape and space flexibility.

Production processes

The market requires that the panel area is getting smaller and smaller, and the layout of the motherboard space is difficult to use.

Separate design, consists of independent small components, small products size, also can according to actual space flexibility to adjust the shape and position of the board.

Price, Inventory

Due to original material and product part number too much, package size different, can not purchase batch concentration, inventory risk is high.

It is divided into two main structures: inductive type and capacitive type. The inductive type is evolved from the traditional toroidal transformer. It has the functions of voltage transformation and filtering. It can be compatible with the 1500V high-voltage isolation of the original traditional network transformer. The capacitive structure replaces the transformer part with a filter capacitor, which is a better cost solution for chip network transformers and has better cost advantages.
