A new SPICE-compatible behavioral model for an arbitrary non-linear magnetic circuit was developed and verified experimentally. The proposed model was used to analyze a current controlled magnetic inductor behavior. The nonlinearity of the ferromagnetic medium was reproduced by applying the core manufacturer data. Close agreement was obtained between the simulation and experimental results.
