On thermal characterization method of integrated magnetic components.

The operating temperature of integrated magnetic components can be critical. Excessively high temperature can significantly modify the properties of components, especially those of magnetic material, such as saturation magnetization and magnetic permeability. This article introduces an experimental characterization method using two different sensors. We compare the results obtained from these sensors. Initially, the method is validated using a "meander component, and subsequently, it is applied to planar spiral inductors, both with and without magnetic material.
