Abstract:
1. A magnetic component assembly comprising: an integral, single piece magnetic body; and at least four distinct, mutually coupled coils situated in the integral, single piece magnetic body, wherein each of the at least four distinct, mutually coupled coils includes a conductive path defining less than one turn of a winding, and wherein the at least four distinct, mutually coupled coils are arranged in the integral, single piece magnetic body in a flux sharing relationship with one another, wherein each of the at least four distinct, mutually coupled coils respectively includes first and second ends, wherein the integral, single piece magnetic body defines first, second, third and fourth orthogonal sides, wherein the first side of the integral, single piece magnetic body includes both the first and second ends of a first one of the at least four distinct, mutually coupled coils, wherein the second side of the integral, single piece magnetic body includes both the first and second ends of a second one of the at least four distinct, mutually coupled coils, wherein the third side of the integral, single piece magnetic body includes both the first and second ends of a third one of the at least four distinct, mutually coupled coils, and wherein the fourth side of the integral, single piece magnetic body includes both the first and second ends of a fourth one of the at least four distinct, mutually coupled coils, and wherein the component defines a coupled power inductor.
