Abstract:
1. A vehicular power converter comprising: a plurality of switches; and first and second inductive components having substantially adjacent portions and being arranged and coupled to the plurality of switches such that when current flows from the plurality of switches and through the first and second inductive components, wherein the first inductive component comprises a first conductive winding and the second inductive component comprises a second conductive winding, and wherein wherein the first conductive winding is wrapped about a first axis and the second conductive winding is wrapped around a second axis, the first and second axes being substantially parallel to the first and second directions, and wherein substantially all flux generated by the current along the first axis within the first conductive winding is oriented in substantially the second direction, and substantially all flux generated by the current along the second axis within the second conductive winding is oriented in substantially the first direction.
