    摘要: A resonant power converter includes a capacitive divider circuit, a coupled inductor, and N switching stages, where N is an integer greater than two. The coupled inductor includes N windings, and total leakage inductance of the coupled inductor and equivalent capacitance of the capacitive divider circuit collectively form a resonant tank circuit of the resonant power converter. Each switching stage is electrically coupled between a respective one of the N windings of the coupled inductor and the capacitive divider circuit. The capacitive divider circuit may include one or more resonant capacitors.

    摘要: A coupled inductor includes a ladder magnetic core including (a) a first rail and a second rail separated from each other in a first direction and (b) a plurality of rungs separated from each other in a second direction. The second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, and each rung of the plurality of rungs is disposed between the first rail and the second rail in the first direction. The coupled inductor further includes a plurality of windings, where each winding of the plurality of windings is partially wound around a respective one of the plurality of rungs such that each winding of the plurality of windings does not overlap with itself when the coupled inductor is viewed cross-sectionally in a third direction. The third direction is orthogonal to each of the first direction and the second direction.

    摘要: A switching power converter includes an integrated inductor assembly, a first switching stage, and a second switching stage. The integrated inductor assembly includes a magnetic core and first and second windings disposed at least partially in the magnetic core. The second winding is separated from the first winding by a separation portion of the magnetic core. The first switching stage is configured such that a first current flowing from the first switching stage to the first winding induces first magnetic flux flowing through the separation portion of the magnetic core. The second switching stage is configured such that a second current flowing from the second switching stage to the second winding induces second magnetic flux flowing through the separation portion of the magnetic core that opposes the first magnetic flux in the separation portion of the magnetic core.

    摘要: A coupled inductor includes first and second magnetic rails, a plurality of connecting magnetic elements, and a plurality of windings. The first and second magnetic rails are separated from each other in a first direction, and the first magnetic rail has a first cross-sectional area A1 as seen when viewed in the first direction. Each connecting magnetic element is disposed between the first and second magnetic rails in the first direction. The plurality of connecting magnetic elements collectively have a second cross-sectional area A2 as seen when viewed in the first direction, and a ratio of A2/(A1−A2) is at least 1.5. A respective winding is wound at least partially around each connecting magnetic element.

    摘要: A circuit assembly includes a first substrate including a first outer surface, a first capacitor disposed on the first outer surface, and a first metallic bar. The first capacitor has a first capacitor thickness in a first direction orthogonal to the first outer surface. The first metallic bar has a first bar thickness in the first direction, the first bar thickness being greater than the first capacitor thickness. An electrical load is optionally disposed on a second outer surface of the first substrate over the first metallic bar, in the first direction. The electrical load may be electrically coupled to the first metallic bar.
