    Abstract: An apparatus that includes first and second parallel converter branches, each parallel converter branch including an input node, N output nodes, a plurality of switches, a converter output node, and control logic. The control logic generates a first set of switch signals to control the switches of the first parallel converter branch and a second set of switch signals to control the second parallel converter branch, the first set switch signals and the second set of switch signals having respective duty cycles to cause each of the first and second parallel converter branches to output the DC output voltage on each of the N output nodes.

    CPC classification number: H01F17/0006 H05K5/0069

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to power modules that include elevated inductors with capacitors disposed under the inductors. In one aspect, a power module includes a first circuit board having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. One or more inductors are mounted on the first surface. Each of the one or more inductors includes a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface and that faces the first surface of the first circuit board. Each inductor is elevated above the first surface of the first circuit board such that at least a portion of the bottom surface of the inductor does not contact the first surface of the first circuit board. The first circuit board includes capacitors arranged in an area below the portion of the bottom surface of the inductor that does not contact the first surface of the first circuit board.
