另一种制造方法显示在图13中，其中多个磁芯210被置于载体212 上。 Another manufacturing method is shown in FIG. 13, wherein a plurality of cores 210 are placed on the carrier 212. 各磁芯210是用合适的孔214模制的。 Each core 210 is a hole 214 with a suitable molding. 然后用标准的工业导电墨水屏蔽（screening)工艺在磁芯210的顶部215和底部216上形成电路， 同时填充孔214以在顶部215和底部216之间建立所需的连接。 Then the shield (Screening) standard industrial process with conductive ink circuit is formed on the core top 215 and bottom 210 and 216, while the filling hole 214 to establish the required connection between the top 215 and bottom 216.
使用安培定律的虚拟磁芯 Use virtual core Ampere's law
上述的本发明的实施例有导电通孔穿过磁片，以一种非常新颖的方式利用了安培定律。 The above-described embodiments of the present invention has a conductive via passing through the magnetic sheet, in a very novel manner utilizes Ampere's law. 所述通孔的形成方式使得形成在衬底上的两个绕组之间存在磁通路径。 Embodiment is formed such that the through hole is formed in the presence of a magnetic flux path between the two windings on the substrate. 因此，如图4A所示，落入内通孔68内的任何封闭路径将包含零值净电流（net current),因此这种路径就没有磁通量。 Thus, as shown in FIG. 4A, any enclosed path falling within the through hole 68 will contain the value zero net current (net current), so that no magnetic flux path. 包围外通?L56的任何路径也将包含零值净电流，这是因为对流到外通孔56中的电流来说，内通孔68具有大小相等而方向反向的电流， 从而在包围外通孔56的区域中产生零值磁通量。 Surrounding the outer through? L56 any path will also contain the value zero net current because the through hole 56 of the outer flow of electrical current, the inner hole 68 having a size equal to the reverse current direction, so that the outside passage surrounding region of the bore 56 to produce a zero value of the magnetic flux. 但是，由于内通孔68 的封闭，内通孔68和外通孔56之间的封闭路径将具有净磁通量。 However, since the through hole 68 is closed, the closed path between the through hole 68 and the outside passage holes 56 will have a net magnetic flux. 部分包围内通孔68或外通孔56的其他路径将没有有效的磁通量，这是因为磁通量会选择最短的物理路径，类似于电流。 The through hole 68 partially surrounds the outer or the through hole 56 of the other paths will be no effective magnetic flux because the flux will select the shortest physical path, similar to the current. 因此，这种结构的工作将类似于图2的环形，并被表示为虚拟环形62。 Thus, this structure would be similar to the work of the ring of FIG. 2, and is represented as a virtual ring 62. 安培定律由以下方程表示： Ampere's law represented by the following equation:
#H*(^)=S/ (方程l) #H * (^) = S / (Equation l)
其中围绕闭合路径的磁场强度H的线积分等于穿过被该路径包围的区域的电流I之和。 Wherein the closed loop path around the magnetic field strength H is equal to the line integral of the current I through the path region is surrounded and. 参考图6，安培定律说明落入内通孔83中的任何闭合路径的线积分将包含零值净电流，因为在这个区域内没有带电流的通孔。 6, Ampere's law described in any closed path line integral falls within the through hole 83 will contain the value zero net current because in this region there is no current carrying vias. 因此，在虚拟环形的内径85内便不会产生磁通量。 Therefore, it will not produce magnetic flux in the virtual ring inner diameter 85. 包围外通孔82的任何闭合路径的线积分也具有穿过被包围区域的零值净电流，这是因为有电流流出的8个内通孔83被流入8个外通孔82的等量电流所抵消。 Any closed path surrounding the outer through-hole 82 also has a line integral value of zero net current flow through the enclosed region, and this is because the current flowing through holes 8 83 flows into the eight outer vias 82 equivalent amount of current offset. 因此，在包围所示虚拟环形的外径84的任何区域内将没有磁通量产生。 Thus, in the virtual ring surrounding the outer diameter of any region 84 shown there will be no magnetic flux generated.
存在连续磁通量的唯一区域是介于虚拟环形磁芯的内径85和外径84之间的区域。 The only region there is a continuous flux is the area between the inner 85 and outer 84 interposed virtual toroidal core. 在这个区域中，闭合路径的线积分将包括来自8个内通孔83的穿过被包围区域的电流之和。 In this region, the closed path line integral will comprise 8 from the through hole 83 passing through the region surrounded by currents. 因此，图6中显示的通孔图案形成了一个虚拟环形电感器，其中内径85和外径84构成一个由8匝绕组励磁的虚拟环形磁芯。 Thus, the via pattern shown in Figure 6 forms a virtual toroidal inductor, wherein the inner diameter 85 and outer diameter of a core 84 constituted by a virtual ring 8 turns of winding excitation. 点划线圆圈88表示被限定到环形磁芯的区域上的磁通路径的方向。 Dot chain line circle 88 represents the direction of the flux path is defined on the toroidal core region.
显而易见，适当选择通孔，便可使衬底上有许多不同形状的虚拟磁芯和磁芯排列。 Obviously, the through-hole is appropriately selected, so that there can be many virtual core and core arrangement of different shapes on the substrate. 因此，可以在同一衬底上构造许多独立的磁路。 Therefore, many independent magnetic circuits can be constructed on the same substrate. 正因如此，通过在图4所示的铁磁片50的顶部表面52和底部表面54上适当设置通孔和电路导体，就有可能构造比简单的电感器和变压器更为复杂的电路。 For this reason, by appropriately setting the through-hole and on the conductor circuit shown in FIG ferromagnetic sheets 50 of the top surface 52 and a bottom surface 54, it is possible to construct more complex than simple inductors and transformers circuit. 例如利用传统PCB和柔性电路板（FLEX)工业中所用的工艺（光沉积、蚀刻和电镀），即能将多个元件如电阻器、电容器和集成电路设置在同一衬底上，从而形成微型电路组件。 For example, using a conventional circuit board and a flexible PCB (the FLEX) used in industrial processes (light deposition, etching, and plating), i.e. capable of a plurality of elements such as resistors, capacitors and integrated circuits disposed on the same substrate, thereby forming a microcircuit components.

14224。 14224. 每个虚拟磁芯220、 222、 224独立工作，并且可以如图6所示那样具有介于电镀的通孔之间和穿过这些通孔的电路连接，从而形成虚 Each virtual core 220, 222, 224 work independently, and may be as shown in the circuit through which the connection between the through-holes plated through-hole having between 6, thereby forming a virtual

对高频电路如用于典型范围在lOOKHz到lOOMHz的射频频率的电路，可以依据前述的实施例来构造适用的电感器和变压器。 The high-frequency circuit used in a typical range of lOOKHz lOOMHz to the radio frequency circuit may be constructed of inductors and transformers applied according to the foregoing embodiment. 有利的是，前述实施例中的铁磁片可以用铁氧体（ferrite)材料的薄层形成，该铁氧体材料所具有的典型磁导率范围为100到10000，而电阻率范围为1000欧姆/cm到10.sup.9欧姆/cm。 Advantageously, the embodiment of the preceding embodiment may be formed of magnetic sheet iron ferrite (Ferrite) sheet material, the ferrite material has a permeability typically ranging from 100 to 10,000, and a resistivity in the range of 1000 ohm / cm to 10.sup.9 ohm / cm. 典型的铁氧体合成物包括铁氧体氧化物（ferric oxide)和铝镍钴（alnico)。 A typical composition comprises ferrite ferrite oxide (ferric oxide) and aluminum-nickel-cobalt (alnico). 这类铁氧体材料具有足够高的电阻率以使得穿过铁磁片的电镀通孔相互绝缘。 Such ferrite materials have a sufficiently high resistivity such that the plated through holes insulated from each other through the magnetic sheet iron. 这样构造的电感器和变压器适于小型化。 Such a configuration of inductors and transformers suitable for miniaturization. 它们不需要复杂的引线和引线框（lead-frames)。 They do not require complex and the lead frame leads (lead-frames). 因此，1.5英寸长、1英寸宽和0.05英寸厚，具有0.03英寸直径通孔的片能为两个或更多个变压器提供磁芯。 Thus, 1.5 inch long, 1 inch wide and 0.05 inches thick, 0.03 inches diameter sheet having through-holes can provide two or more cores to the transformer. 铁磁片可以非常小。 Ferromagnetic plates can be very small. 顶部表面和底部表面上的表面焊盘形成连接，并且能够被直接地平面式安装到PCB，因而减少了器件的底面积（footprint)且给其他组件提供了更多空间。 Surface pads on the top surface and a bottom surface connected to the ground plane and can be mounted directly to the PCB, thus reducing the bottom surface area (footprint of) the other components of the device and to provide more space. 所示绕组实际处于两个平行的平面中。 The actual winding is shown in two parallel planes. 因此一个典型应用的十（10)层的平面变压器器件的绕组的总高度可以被减少1/5。 Thus a typical application of the ten (10) total height of the winding of the planar transformer device layer may be reduced 1/5. 铁磁片可以非常薄，例如为0.05英寸，因此本发明的电感器和变压器能够实际上被构造于一个非常薄的平面中，而不是一个三维E形磁芯中，这进一步以更大因数减少了总高度。 Ferromagnetic sheets may be very thin, for example, 0.05 inches, so inductors and transformers of the invention can be configured in virtually a very thin plane instead of a three-dimensional E-shaped magnetic core, a factor which further reduces a larger the overall height.
具有高磁通量密度和最小涡流的变压器/电感器器件的更多实施例许多电感器件如低频电源变压器都要求磁芯有相对高的磁导率， Many embodiments inductor device having a high magnetic flux density of the transformer and a minimum vortex / more inductive devices such as low frequency power transformer embodiment requires a relatively high core permeability,
典型地处于10000到100000的范围。 Typically in the range of 10,000 to 100,000. 但是，本发明的实施例所提供的改进适用于更低和更高的数值，例如1000到1000000。 However, embodiments of the present invention to provide an improved applicable to lower and higher values, e.g. 1000-1000000. 某些金属和金属合金，包括钢、铁、硅铁（silicairon)、 78坡莫合金、镍铁高磁导率合金、纯铁和高导磁合金，提供了这些高磁通量密度。 Certain metals and metal alloys, including steel, iron, ferrosilicon (silicairon), 78 permalloy, nickel-iron alloy of high permeability, pure iron and permalloy, which provides a high magnetic flux density. 虽然这些高磁通量密度在构造变压器和电感器时能够提供显著的益处，但这些金属的低电阻率让感应出的涡流能够流动，抵消了较高磁通量密度的优点。 Although these high magnetic flux density in the construction of transformers and inductors can provide significant benefits, the low resistivity of these metals allow induced eddy currents to flow, offset the advantage of a higher magnetic flux density. 图16示意说明由磁通量引起的感应涡流300流进金属磁芯。 FIG 16 schematically illustrates induced eddy currents 300 caused by the magnetic flux flowing into the metal core. 目前使用金属作为磁芯的变压器/电感器通常通过层叠的金属E形片来构造环形或E形磁芯，其中每个片被某种类型的绝缘体粘合材料分隔开。 Currently used as a metal core transformer / inductor is usually constructed by a ring-shaped magnetic core or E E-shaped laminated metal sheets, wherein each sheet is separated by some type of insulating adhesive material. 整个E形磁芯包含许多这样的片，从而形成完整的磁芯。 The entire E-shaped core contains many such sheet, to form a complete core. 使用这种结构，涡流便被限制在每个片的横截面区域内。 With this structure, eddy currents will be limited in the cross-sectional area of ​​each sheet. 如下面的描述，本发明的一个特征是进一步减少磁芯部分区域。 As described below, one feature of the present invention is to further reduce the core section areas.
在图17〜21中，示意说明了本发明的一个实施例的制造，其能够将铁磁金属用作磁芯材料，其中柔性电路或印刷电路板290支撑一系列层叠的薄金属环，这些薄金属环形成于柔性电路或印刷电路板上并被绝缘板所隔开。 In the FIG. 17~21 schematically illustrates a manufacturing an embodiment of the present invention, which can be a ferromagnetic metal is used as the core material, wherein a flex circuit or printed circuit board 290 supports a series of laminated thin metal rings, the thin metal ring or a circuit formed on a flexible printed circuit board and are separated by an insulating plate. 电镀的通孔处于这些环的中心内和外部，并被电镀而围绕磁芯构成电气匝（electrical turns)。 Plated through holes in the centers of these inner and outer rings, and electric plating to form turns (electrical turns) around the core. 如下面的描述，这个实施例通过实质上减少每个层叠的磁芯部分的横截面面积而实际使涡流达到最小。 As described below, this embodiment is substantially reduced by the cross-sectional area of ​​the core portion of each stacked actually the swirl is minimized.
通过首先将铁磁金属片层叠到印刷电路板或柔性电路290，然后蚀刻掉部分铁磁片，以形成多个紧密间隔、狭窄而连续的磁芯段的图案，来形成多个磁芯叠片。 By first laminating the sheets of ferromagnetic metal to a printed circuit board or flexible circuit 290, and then etching away portions of ferromagnetic sheet to form a plurality of closely spaced, narrow continuous core section of a pattern to form a plurality of core laminations . 因此，图17显示了具有16个被蚀刻磁芯的阵列的PCB或FLEX 310的单个层。 Thus, FIG. 17 shows the array 16 are etched core PCB or FLEX 310 having a single layer. 应该理解的是本领域公知的层叠和蚀刻工艺一般允许制造超过16的这种阵列，这取决于阵列和图案的尺寸。 It should be understood that the present known in the art generally allows lamination and etching processes for producing such an array of more than 16, depending on the size and pattern of the array. 有利的是，使用众所周知的双面工艺来蚀刻磁芯阵列315，以便在片310的顶部和底部上形成相同的阵列。 Advantageously, the process using the well known double-sided core array 315 is etched to form an array on the same top and bottom piece 310.
图18图解说明了一单个磁芯阵列315的放大视图，其中显示了具有16个同心铁磁导电金属环320a〜320p的阵列，金属环320a〜320p通过各自被蚀刻出间隔或空隙325a〜3250而彼此绝缘。 18 illustrates an enlarged view of a single core array 315, which shows an array having 16 concentric ferromagnetic electrically conductive metal rings 320a~320p the metal ring are each etched through 320a~320p interval or the gap 325a~3250 insulated from each other. 类似地，在阵列315外部的区域330以及在最里面的环320内部的区域335是磁材料的 Similarly, in a region 330 outside the array 315 and a region 320 within the innermost ring 335 is a magnetic material

一系列相互绝缘的、渐次更i:的正方形或矩形磁芯阵歹if，这对于本领域的技术人员来说是显而易见的。 Series of mutually insulated, gradually more i: square or rectangular array of core bad if, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
下一个制造步骤是层叠多个印刷电路板（PCB)和柔性电路(FLEX)是310，其中阵列315基本对齐。 The next step is for producing a plurality of stacked printed circuit boards (PCB) and a flexible circuit (the FLEX) is 310, wherein the array 315 are substantially aligned. 如图i9A所示，同心环磁芯阵列315a〜315h彼此层叠在顶部，其中在每一层上的磁芯图案是对齐的。 FIG i9A, the concentric ring core arrays 315a~315h laminated on each other at the top, wherein the core patterns on each layer are aligned. 结果是制成了多个高磁通量、具有非常小涡流区的金属磁芯。 The result is made of a plurality of high magnetic flux, a metal core having a very small eddy zone. 因此，被用于蚀刻阵列315的原始片的厚度能够非常薄，典型范围是0.0005到0.010英寸。 Thus, the thickness of the array is used for etching of the original sheet 315 can be very thin, typically in the range of 0.0005 to 0.010 inches. ky可以使用传统的PCB或FLEX (FPC)蚀刻技术来将同心环蚀刻到非常窄的宽度，其量级为0.002英寸到0.003英寸。 ky using conventional PCB or FLEX (FPC) etching techniques to etch the concentric rings to a very narrow width on the order of 0.002 inches to 0.003 inches. 结果使得称为磁芯的横截面的涡流产生区域的尺寸被极大减少了。 With the result that the cross section is referred to as the vortex core size of the region is generated is greatly reduced. 作为层叠工艺的一部分，绝缘材料340的薄层被放置在邻近每个被蚀刻的同心环阵列315的顶部表面。 As part of the lamination process, a thin layer of insulating material 340 is disposed adjacent the top surface of each etched concentric ring array 315. 典型的是使用环氧树脂材料。 Typically an epoxy resin material. 这个绝缘板和该绝缘板支撑的被蚀刻的铁磁环可能是不同材料。 The insulating plate and the insulating plate supporting the etched ferromagnetic rings may be of different materials. 代表性d的材料包括由Dupont and Rogers Corp.制造的用于制作印刷电路板和柔性电路（FLEX)的环氧树脂和丙烯酸树脂。 D Representative materials include epoxy and acrylic resins manufactured by Dupont and Rogers Corp. for making a printed circuit board and a flexible circuit (the FLEX) a. 环氧树脂和半固化片(以及带有玻璃的环氧树脂） 一般被用于构造印刷电路板，而丙烯酸树脂（acrylics) —般被用于制造FLEX。 And epoxy prepreg (with a glass and an epoxy resin) is generally used to construct the printed circuit board, and an acrylic resin (acrylics) - is generally used to manufacture FLEX. 在层叠过程中，图18中显示的空隙325、空隙330和335被用图21A和图21B中所显示的绝缘材料加以填充。 Void 325 during stacking, shown in FIG. 18, the voids 330 and 335 are to be filled with an insulating material in FIGS. 21A and 21B shown.
如上所述，有利的是，由磁芯结构的两面上的与印刷电路接触的导电通孔，来提供本发明的实施例的电绕组。 As described above, it is advantageous that the conductive vias in contact with printed circuitry on both sides of the core structure, to provide electrical windings of the embodiments of the present invention. 图17〜21的实施例的绕组的制造步骤显示在图20A、 20B、 21A、 21B中。 FIG 17~21 winding manufacturing steps of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 20A, 20B, 21A, 21B in.
参考图20A和图20B，附加的铜层350、 355分别层叠在顶部表面和底部表面，有两个附加的绝缘层360、 365将铜表面与被蚀刻的金属表面分隔开。 With reference to FIGS. 20A and 20B, the additional copper layers 350, 355 are respectively laminated on the top and bottom surfaces, there are two additional insulating layers 360, 365 and the copper surface is etched metal surface spaced.
图21A和21B中图示说明完整的结构，其中通孔370钻通了整个层叠阵列。 FIGS 21A and 21B illustrate the complete structure, wherein the through-holes 370 drilled through the entire laminated array. 这些通孔位置靠近低电阻率的铁磁环但典型地不与其接触，使得由被电镀通孔所提供的绕组线匝从电气上绝缘。 A position close to the through holes of the low resistivity ferromagnetic rings but typically not in contact therewith, such that the winding turns by the plated through hole is provided from the electrical insulation. 然后用导电材料，通常是铜，来电镀这些通孔370。 Then with a conductive material, typically copper, to plated through-holes 370. 也可以利用这些通孔内的导电墨水和导电胶。 These may also be used a conductive ink and conductive paste through hole. 铜层350、 355然后受到蚀刻，从而形成和被电镀通孔370电接触的电路图案，用以形成围绕同心环磁芯阵列315的绕组。 Copper layers 350, 355 and is etched to form a circuit pattern and contacted electrically plated through hole 370 for forming windings around the concentric ring core arrays 315.

可以使用前述的用于制造虚拟磁芯的方法来制造图22。 A method for manufacturing a magnetic core can virtual be manufactured using the aforementioned FIG. 22. 例如，可以像前述图7、 8、 9所公开的那样作为柔性电路（FLEX)的一部分，像前述图10、 11和图12所公开的那样作为印刷电路板（PCB)的一部分，来制造图22，或者如前述图13所公开的那样没有FLEX和PCB而制造图22。 For example, like that as a flexible circuit (the FLEX) portion disclosed in the aforementioned FIG. 7, 8, 9, like the 10, 11 and 12, as disclosed in a printed circuit board (PCB) of a portion, produced in FIG. 22, FIG. 13 or the like as not disclosed in the PCB and FLEX manufactured FIG 22.
单元磁芯对安培定律的使用 Ampere's law using the cell of the magnetic core
根据安培定律，在图22中，穿过通孔402的每个携带电流的导体将产生如点划线圆圈404表示的环形磁场。 According to Ampere's law, in FIG. 22, each current carrying conductor through the through hole 402 of the toroidal magnetic field is generated as indicated by dot-dash line circle 404. 尽管传统的电感器件典型地使用绝缘导体来环绕铁氧体环形磁芯，从而构造出通过磁芯的中心孔的"线匝"，但这种绕组或线匝并不一定在磁芯内产生磁力线构成的磁场。 While conventional inductive devices typically using insulated conductors surrounded by a ferrite toroidal core, to construct a "turn" passing through the center hole of the core, such windings or turns but does not necessarily generate magnetic lines of force within the core the magnetic field configuration. 例如，图23图解说明了安培定律的一种形式，其中环形磁场410是由流过笔直导体412的电流产生的。 For example, FIG. 23 illustrates a form of Ampere's law, wherein the toroidal magnetic field 410 is a straight conductor 412 current flows generated by. 因此，弯曲的导体不一定产生磁场。 Thus, a curved conductor is not necessarily produce a magnetic field. 但是，磁场路径取决于电流路径。 However, the magnetic field dependent on the current path route. 例如，环形电流路径会产生通过该电流路径的中心的一个直线场。 For example, a circular current path would produce a linear field through the center of the current path.
因此，根据安培定律，可以通过让单个载流导体穿过图22中的通孔22，而在基本包围通孔402的一部分铁磁片400内产生磁场，来制造相当于单匝电感器的单个电感器件。 Thus, according to Ampere's law, so that by a single current carrying conductor through the through holes 22 22 in FIG., A magnetic field is generated in a portion substantially surrounding the through hole 402 of ferromagnetic sheets 400, to manufacture a single equivalent of a single turn inductor inductor device. 如点划线圆圈404所表示的，由载流导体产生的磁通量位于直接围绕铁磁片400的区域内。 The dot-dash line circle 404 is represented, the magnetic flux generated by a current carrying conductor is located in the area immediately surrounding the ferromagnetic plates 400.
单元磁芯对法拉第定律的使用 Using Faraday's law of magnetic core means
在本发明的另一个优选实施例中，设置穿过图22的一个或多个通孔402的第二个绝缘导体而形成一个变压器，这里称之为"单元磁芯变压器"或"单元变压器"。 In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 22 is provided through one or more vias 402 of the second insulated conductor to form a transformer, referred to herein as "cell core transformer" or "cell transformer." . 通过图解说明的方式，图24显示了法拉第定律的一种形式，其中当导体420的路径包围携带随时间变化的磁通密度B的区域A时，在导体420中产生电场强度E。 By way of illustration, Figure 24 shows a form of Faraday's law, wherein when the path surrounding the conductor 420 carrying a time-varying magnetic flux density B in the region A, the electric field strength is generated in the conductor 420 E. 这个定律是由以下方程描述的： This law is described by the following equation:
# £ • (>//)= # ^^/^ • (W) (方程2) # £ • (> //) = # ^^ / ^ • (W) (Equation 2)
当围绕一个闭合路径的电场强度E的线积分等于穿过该路径所包围的区域A的随时间变化的磁通量B之和时，它是感应的电压。 When the electric field intensity around a closed path line integral of E is equal to the path through region A surrounded by the time-varying magnetic flux B is and when it is induced voltage.
因此，在图22所示的实施例中，由通孔402的次级导体所检测到的磁通量等于由同一个通孔402内的初级电流所产生的直接环绕的磁通量。 Thus, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 22, a secondary conductor through hole 402 of the detected magnetic flux equal to the magnetic flux is directly surrounded by the primary current within the same through hole 402 of the generated. 相当于一个1:1匝数比变压器的单个电感器件，是通过让初级载流导体和次级导体或感应导体穿过图22中的同一个通孔402，来制造的。 Equivalent to a 1: 1 turns ratio transformer is a single inductive devices, so that by the primary current carrying conductor and the secondary conductor or the same induction conductor through a through-hole in FIG. 22 402 manufactured. 如下面详细描述的，多个通孔402的初级导体和次级导体可以通过串联和并联组合的方式，在电气上耦连，从而产生具有所需匝数比的单元变压器的初级绕组和次级绕组。 As described in detail below, a plurality of through-holes 402 of the primary conductor and the secondary conductor can be combined in series and parallel, electrically coupled, thereby producing a desired turns ratio of the transformer means primary winding and the secondary winding. 只要当合并来自每个通孔402的信号时，感应电压的极性是正的，则合成绕组就会作为一个有效变压器的一部分来工作。 As long as the combined signal from each through hole 402, the polarity of the induced voltage is positive, then the windings will be synthesized as part of a transformer to operate effectively.
图22的电流流动图案被排列成使得在阵列的同一行或同一列中，任何单个通孔402中的电流流动方向都和任何邻近通孔402中的电流流动方向相反。 FIG current flow pattern 22 are arranged so that the same row or column of the array, the direction of current flow in any single via 402 and are adjacent to any current flow in the direction opposite to the through hole 402. 表示围绕每个通孔402的环绕的磁通量方向的点划线圆圈404说明，在两个相邻磁场交叉的情况下，在每个通孔402之间 Represents a circumferential direction of the magnetic flux around each via 402-dot chain line circles 404 illustrate, in the case of two adjacent magnetic field intersecting each through hole 402 in between
19产生的合成磁通量具有相同的方向。 Resulting magnetic flux 19 produced with the same direction. 但是，这样的取向不是必需的， However, such an orientation is not necessary,
而且各种电流图案都是可能的。 And various current patterns are possible. 例如，图25图解说明了本发明的一个实施例，其中40个通孔432形成了铁磁片434内的一个阵列。 For example, FIG. 25 illustrates one embodiment of the present invention, wherein 40 vias 432 form an array within a ferromagnetic plates 434. 如图25表示的电流图案被排列成在一列内，使电流以相同的方向流过每个通孔432，而且在每一列内，流过通孔432的电流方向与任何相邻列的电流方向相反。 FIG 25 shows the current pattern are arranged in a row so that the current in the same direction through each through hole 432, and within each column, the direction of current flowing through the through hole 432 in the direction of the current to any adjacent columns in contrast. 点划线圆圈436说明，在同一行中的两个相邻通孔432之间，所产生的合成磁通量具有相同的方向，但是在同一列中的两个相邻通孔432之间，所产生的磁通量具有相反的方向。 DESCRIPTION dot chain line circle 436, the through hole 432 between two adjacent magnetic flux generated by the synthesis has the same direction, but in the same column between two adjacent vias 432, resulting in the same row have opposite directions of magnetic fluxes. 图26图解说明了本发明的另一个实施例，其中在铁磁片440内形成的40个通孔438中，每一个通孔的电流都在同一个方向上。 Figure 26 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention, wherein a through hole 40 formed in 440 438 in the ferromagnetic plates, each of the through holes of the current in the same direction. 点划线圆圈442说明，在两个相邻的磁场交叉的情况下，在每个通孔438之间产生的合成磁通量具有相反的方向。 442-dot chain line circle described, in the case of two adjacent magnetic fields intersect, the resulting magnetic flux generated between each via 438 has the opposite direction.
无论电流流动的图案是怎样的，由单个通孔所产生的磁通量继续位于围绕通孔的铁磁材料的邻近区域内。 No matter how the pattern of current flow, the magnetic flux generated by a single through hole located in the continuation of the ferromagnetic material adjacent to the region around the through-hole. 因此，当产生绕组的串联和并联的组合时，可以选择各种电流流动的图案来简化电路路径。 Thus, when a combination of series and parallel winding, a current may select various flow patterns to simplify the circuit paths.
单元磁芯组合 Means a combination of a magnetic core
如上所述，穿过图22的单个通孔402来放置第二绝缘导体，将会形成一个1:1匝数比的单元变压器。 As described above, 402 through the single via 22 to place the second insulated conductor, will form a 1: 1 turns ratio transformer unit. 多个通孔402内的初级导体和次级导体也可用串联和并联方式组合，从而形成任何具有所需匝数比的单元变压器。 Primary conductor and secondary conductor 402 in the plurality of through-holes may also be used in combination of series and parallel to form cell transformers of any desired turns ratio has. 图27图解说明了本发明的一个实施例，其中6单元变压器456是用形成于铁磁片460 (其一部分被表示为围绕着每个通孔458)中的6个通孔458来制造的。 Figure 27 illustrates one embodiment of the present invention, wherein the transformer unit 456 6 is formed on the ferromagnetic plates 460 (a portion of which is represented around the each through hole 458) 6 458 manufactured through-hole. 单元变压器456包括初级绕组462，该初级绕组提供一条电流路径，使得出现在初级绕组462的两端466、 468上的电压信号Vin导致电流Iin通过每个串联的通孔458，从第一端466流到第二端468。 Transformer 456 includes a primary winding unit 462, the primary winding provides a current path, such that appears across the primary winding 462 466, the voltage signal Vin 468 causes a current Iin through each through hole series 458, 466 from the first end flows to the second end 468. 单元变压器456还包括次级绕组464，该次级绕组提供一条通过每个串联通孔458的电流路径。 Unit 456 further includes a secondary transformer winding 464, the secondary winding provides a current path through the communication hole 458 in each string. 初级绕组462和次级绕组464可以包括在铁磁片460的顶部表面470和底部表面472上，穿过通孔458和介于通孔458之间的导体（图中未示）。 A primary winding 462 and secondary winding 464 may comprise ferromagnetic sheets in the top surface 470 and bottom surface 460 of the upper 472 through conductors 458 and between the via holes between the through hole 458 (not shown).
.由于初级绕组462是串联的，电流Iin流过每个通孔458，并且在通过每个通孔458的那部分次级绕组464中感应出一个等于Im的电流。 Since the primary winding 462 is in series, current Iin flows through each via 458, and in the secondary winding 464 induces a current Im is equal to that through each section of the through hole 458. 由于次级绕组464也是串联的，因此通过每个通孔458的次级绕组464中的最大电流是I。 Since the secondary winding 464 is connected in series, thus the maximum current through each of the through holes 464 in the secondary winding 458 is I. ^该电流等于Ita。 This current is equal to ^ Ita. 因此V^等于Vjn且图27所示的 Thus equal to V ^ Vjn and 27 shown in FIG.

参考图33A、 33B和33C中所示的单元磁芯电源变压器的工作， 施加在节点554的10安培初级电流将并行通过行Rl中的每个通孔536。 Referring to FIG. 33A, the core power transformer unit of work shown in 33B and 33C, the primary current at 10 amperes is applied to the node 554 in parallel through each through hole 536 in row Rl. 因此，当初级电流从行R1中的一部分第一顶部导电层540通过， 到达一部分第一底部导电层542时，每个通孔536将只传导1安培初级电流。 Thus, when the primary current from the top portion of the first conductive layer 540 in row R1 to reach the bottom portion of the first conductive layer 542, each via 536 will conduct only one amp primary current. 10安培初级电流然后将从行Rl上的这部分第一底部导电层542通过，穿过PCB区域532中的通孔538，到达行R2上的一部分第一顶部导电层540。 Primary current from 10 amps and then this portion of the first row Rl by a bottom conductive layer 542, through the through hole 532 in the PCB area 538 reaches the portion of the first top conductive layer 540 on row R2. 通过这种方式，这10安培初级电流便从行Rl中的节点554通过，穿过印刷电路板区域中串联的4个通孔538，并且穿过每一行中并联的每个通孔536，通过每一个后续的行，而到达行R5 中的节点556，因此所有50个通孔536都携带穿过铁磁片534的1安培初级电流。 In this manner, the ten amperes of primary current flows from this row Rl by the node 554, passing through a series of printed circuit board area four through holes 538 and through each through hole 536 in each row in parallel via each subsequent row, and reaches the node 556 in row R5, so that all 50 vias 536 are carried through the ferromagnetic plates 534, one amp of the primary current. 为了携带10安培电流，仅作为举例，印刷电路板532区域中的4个通孔538可包括：加大的槽，多个通孔，实心（solid)高载流引线，单条厚导线和多条导线。 In order to carry 10 amps of current, merely by way of example, a printed circuit board 532 in the region 538 of the four through-holes may include: increasing the groove, a plurality of through-holes, solid (Solid) high current carrying wire, a single wire and a plurality of strip thickness wire. ' '
通过每个通孔536的1安培初级电流将在穿过每个通孔536的次级导体中感应出1安培次级电流。 It will induce a secondary current 1 ampere through each through hole 536 of 1 ampere primary current in the secondary conductor through the through holes 536 in each. 由于在第二顶部导电层544和第二底部导电层546之间，各个通孔536的次级导体是并联连接的，所以50安培的次级电流将从第二顶部导电层544中的节点558流到第二底部导电层546中的节点560。 Since between the second top conductive layer 544 and the second bottom conductive layer 546, the respective through holes 536 of the secondary conductors are connected in parallel, the secondary current of 50 amps from the second top conductive layer 544 to node 558 to node 560 of the second bottom conductive layer 546. 因此，单元磁芯电源变压器530具有5:1 的匝数比及50安培的次级电流。 Thus, the cell core power transformer 530 has a 5: 1 turns ratio and the secondary current of 50 amperes.
图33A、 33B和33C中所示的实施例具有非常简单的排列，并使初级绕组和次级绕组的电阻率达到最小。 FIG. 33A, the embodiment shown in 33B and 33C has a very simple arrangement, and the resistivity of the primary and secondary windings is minimized. 高电流下的次级电阻非常低， 这是因为第二顶部导电层544和第二底部导电层546都有利地包含导电材料如铜平面。 At high current secondary resistance is very low, because the second top conductive layer 544 and the second bottom conductive layer 546 can advantageously comprise a conductive material such as copper plane. 同时，由于穿过每个通孔536的实际路径长度相同， 每个通孔536中的初级导体和次级导体趋于具有相等的电流。 Meanwhile, since the same through each through hole 536 of the actual path length of each through hole 536 of the primary conductor and the secondary conductor tend to have equal currents. 此外，对于初级绕组（由节点554和556表示）和次级绕组（由节点558和560表示）的输入和输出连接是便于安排的。 Further, for the primary winding is connected (represented by the nodes 554 and 556) and a secondary winding (represented by nodes 558 and 560 a) is to facilitate the input and output arrangements.
虚拟和单元磁芯的组合 And a combination of the virtual core unit
图33A、 33B和图33C中所示的实施例使用了图26中显示的电流方向，它能够被容易地改变以实现许多不同的输出电流和匝数比的技术规格。 FIG. 33A, 33B and the embodiment shown in FIG. 33C using the current direction shown in FIG. 26, it can be easily altered to achieve many different technical specifications of output current and turns ratio. 图26中所显示的电流图案的均匀性也可以被有利地和虚拟磁芯的安排结合使用，以形成包括两个或更多个次级绕组的变压器。 Uniformity of the current pattern shown in FIG. 26 may also be advantageously combined and used virtual core arrangements to form comprises two or more of the secondary winding of the transformer. 具有穿过单个通孔的两个或更多个次级导体的单元磁芯，可能对制造来说非常难且昂贵。 A single unit core having a through hole through two or more secondary conductors, it may be very difficult and expensive for manufacturing. 但是，具有附加的次级导体的通孔可以被安排得靠近单元磁芯，以便感应在围绕该单元磁芯的铁磁材料内流动的环绕磁通量。 However, the through-hole with additional secondary conductors may be arranged proximate to the core unit, to induce within the ferromagnetic material surrounding the cell core surrounded by a magnetic flux flow. 例如，如在前面对图33A、 33B和图33C的描述中所讨论的， 铁磁片534内的每个通孔536具有形成于其中的一个初级载流导体和一个次级载流导体，初级导体在次级导体中感应出次级电流。 For example, as described previously for FIG. 33A, 33B and 33C, as discussed above, each through-hole in the ferromagnetic plates 534,536 having a primary current carrying conductor formed therein and a secondary carrying conductor, primary conductor inducing a secondary current in the secondary conductor. 通过在铁磁片534的各区域中形成电镀通孔，便可将一个或更多个附加的次级绕组耦连到初级导体，在铁磁片534上例如在阵列的外部周边处， 磁通量表现为流出围绕单元磁芯的紧邻区域。 By plated through-holes are formed in the respective regions of ferromagnetic pieces 534, can be one or more additional secondary winding coupled to the primary conductor, for example in the outer periphery of the array, the performance of the magnetic flux in the ferromagnetic pieces 534 outflow means for the immediate area around the magnetic core.
实施例的优点 Advantages of the embodiment
单片磁芯 Monolithic core
在E形磁芯构造中，如图1所示，在E形磁芯和盖之间形成一个间隙。 In the E-shaped core structure, shown in Figure 1, a gap is formed between the E-shaped core and a cover. 大多数变压器所用的E形磁芯要求利用例如环氧树脂和夹具来使磁芯的一半和另一半相结合。 Most E-shaped core of the transformer used and requires the use of a jig such as epoxy resin to make the magnetic core half and the other half combined. 这些工艺是耗时而且导致损失的，并且由于在E形磁芯和盖之间形成的间隙而引起器件的参数变化。 These processes are time consuming and lead to loss, and since the gap between the E-shaped core and a cover formed of parameter changes caused by the device. 相反， 本说明书所公开的磁芯有利地包括一种连续式元件，因此提供了改善的变压器效率。 In contrast, the magnetic core disclosed in this specification advantageously include one continuous element, thereby providing improved transformer efficiency. 这种单片设计也消除了以单独一个处理步骤来结合两个分开的部件的需要。 This monolithic design eliminates the need for a separate process step to combine the two separate components.
如果在图17〜21的实施例中，希望有一个间隙来避免磁饱和，那么可以在图18所示的各同心环中蚀刻出间隙。 If the embodiment of FIG 17~21, it is desirable to have a gap to avoid magnetic saturation, the concentric rings shown in FIG. 18 may be etched in the gap. 这种蚀刻间隙环消除了E形磁芯的传统机械隔离参数的大幅变化。 This etching of the gap rings eliminate conventional mechanical spacer sharply change parameter E-shaped magnetic core.
涡流的减少 Reduce eddy currents
以图17〜21的方式构造的电感器和变压器通过在两个方向上隔离能，且涡流远为更少。 In FIG 17~21 constructed by inductors and transformers can be isolated in two directions, and vortex far less. 这是因为所示实施 This is because the embodiment shown in FIG.
例具有的磁芯由于以下事实而比传统的层叠磁芯都薄：（a)与使用印刷电路板或柔性电路制造材料相比，用来蚀刻环320的金属片可以薄很多；和（b)可以将单个绝缘环制造得非常窄。 Embodiment having a core due to the fact than conventional laminated cores are thin: (a) as compared with a printed circuit board or flexible circuit manufacturing material used to etch the metal ring 320 can be much thinner sheet; and (b) It may be a single insulating ring made very narrow. 由于涡流与器件截面面积的平方成正比，因此与传统的变压器或电感器的制造方法相比， 所述实施例极大地减小了涡流。 Eddy currents proportional to the square cross-sectional area of ​​the device, as compared with the conventional method of manufacturing a transformer or inductor, the embodiment of the eddy current is greatly reduced. 例如，参考图1所示的传统E形磁芯， 这种磁芯的金属叠片是不能在两个方向上被隔离的，这是因为这些条块会分开，或者完全不具备机械完整性。 For example, conventional E-shaped core shown in Figure 1, the metal core laminations which can not be isolated in both directions, since these strips will be separated, or not have mechanical integrity.
表面安装 Surface Mount
依据本发明的实施例所形成的绕组能够形成表面安装引线，而不需要隔离的引线框结构、复杂的引线或端部电镀（end plating)。 Winding according to embodiments of the invention are capable of forming a formed surface mount lead leadframe structure, without the need for isolation of the complex plating leads or ends (end plating). 依据本发明构造的平面电感器件对于表面安装技术来说，是非常被容易修改而安装到在其他表面、如PCB或FLEX电路上的。 According to the present invention is constructed in planar inductor device for surface mounting technology, it is very easy to modify and is mounted on the other surface, such as a PCB or FLEX circuit.
互连 interconnection
由于蚀刻的变压器/电感器是使用被用来制造印刷电路板或柔性电路的相同工艺制造的，变压器能够有利地成为电源或电路组件的一个组成部分，因此减少了物理尺寸，减少了连接，并且总体而言使得组件更为紧凑和更小。 The etching transformers / inductors are manufactured using the same process is used a printed circuit board or flexible circuit manufacturing, the transformer can advantageously be part of a power supply or circuit assembly thereby reducing the physical size, reducing the connections, and overall, it makes assembly more compact and smaller. 电路元件能够被直接置于蚀刻的变压器之上或之下，利用变压器的表面积作为载体以使电路平衡，所以整个电路的面积会和变压器的面积一样小。 Circuit element can be placed directly above or below the etched transformer, using the transformer as the surface area of ​​the support to balance the circuit, so that the same area will be a small area of ​​the overall circuit and the transformer. 例如，在电源应用中，开关器件（如二极管和场效应二极管(FET)半导体）能够被直接安装在铁磁片的顶部， 因此便减少了电源电路的长度和尺寸。 For example, in power applications, the switching device (such as diodes and field effect diode (FET) semiconductor) can be mounted directly on top of ferromagnetic sheets, and therefore will reduce the length and size of the power supply circuit.
磁学效果 Magnetic effect
依据本发明的实施例所构造的磁芯与传统变压器相比，提供的磁通路径更为高效而损耗则更少。 According to an embodiment of the present invention as compared to the conventional transformer with a magnetic core structure, a magnetic flux path provides a more efficient and is less loss. 这些特征在设计和功能上更类似于环形磁芯。 These features in the design and function more similar to the toroidal core. 该磁通路径与使用传统磁芯如E形磁芯和PQ磁芯的可比变压器相比更短。 The use of conventional flux path such as E-shaped magnetic core and the core PQ core of the transformer is shorter than the comparison.
单元磁芯实施例，如图22〜33C所示，具有优于传统电感器件的改善性能。 Example core unit, as shown in FIG 22~33C, superior to the conventional inductor device having improved performance. 通过穿过与初级绕组相同的通孔来设置次级绕组，在初级绕组和次级绕组之间的漏电感能够被显著减少，因为这些绕组拥有相同 Provided by the secondary winding to the primary winding through the same through-hole, a leakage inductance between the primary and secondary windings can be significantly reduced because the windings have the same
26的磁通量。 26 of the magnetic flux. 通过穿过与初级绕组相同的通孔来设置次级绕组，由于初级绕组和次级绕组的抵消效应以及初级电路与次级电路之间的隔离， Provided by the secondary winding to the primary winding through the same through-hole, since the isolation between the primary winding and a cancellation effect of the secondary winding and the primary circuit and secondary circuit,
邻近效应能够被显著减少。 Proximity effect can be significantly reduced. 因为制造PCB或FLEX电路所用的普通工艺能够实现导体的布局，所以能够实现有利的绕组图案，来减少各个导体中的电流和降低导体的电阻。 Because ordinary process of manufacturing a PCB or FLEX circuit layout can be implemented with a conductor, it is possible to achieve an advantageous winding pattern, each of the conductors to reduce current and reduce conductor resistance.
所述实施例能够被制造得比传统电感器件小，因为它们不需要复杂的引线和引线框。 The embodiment can be made smaller than conventional inductive devices because they do not require complex and the lead frame leads. 在顶部表面和底部表面上的表面焊盘自己形成连接，并且它们可以被直接表面安装到印刷电路板上，由此便减少了器件的面积并为其他组件让出更多空间。 Pad on the top surface and bottom surfaces form the connection themselves and they can be surface mounted directly to a printed circuit board, whereby it reduces the area of ​​the device and allow more room for other components. 各绕组处于两个平面中，所以一个典型应用的十（10)层平面变压器器件的绕组的整体高度能够被减少1/5。 The windings in two planes, so the overall winding of the planar transformer device ten (10) layer is a typical application can be reduced to 1/5 of the height. 这个"磁芯"位于一个平面中而不是一个三维E形磁芯结构中，这进一步使整体高度以更大的因子减少。 The "core" is located in one plane instead of a three-dimensional structure of the E-shaped core, which further greater overall height reduction factor. 可以建造非常平的变压器或电感器，所述因为铁磁片是一个薄平表面。 It can be built very flat transformer or inductor, as the ferromagnetic plates is a thin flat surface. 通过在薄铁磁片内制造小且间隔紧密的通孔，可以构造非常微型的电感器件。 By making small and closely spaced through holes in the thin ferromagnetic sheet can be constructed very miniature inductive devices. 如图22〜33C 所示的单元磁芯的安排便能够被有利地用来实现基本铁磁磁芯，该铁磁磁芯包括一个通孔以及围绕着它的紧邻的铁磁区域。 Unit core arrangement as shown in FIG 22~33C it can be advantageously used to achieve substantially the ferrite magnetic core, which comprises a ferromagnetic core and a ferromagnetic vias immediate area around it.
所述实施例能够用柔性电路制造，并且比多层平面绕组低廉得多。 The embodiment can manufacture a flexible circuit, and is much less expensive than multi-layer planar windings. 变压器或电感器所必需的导体能够用通常用来构造PCB或FLEX电路的自动处理技术来设置。 Transformer or inductor with the necessary conductors can automatically processing techniques commonly used to construct PCB or FLEX circuits set. 而且，消除了对引线框、封装（potting)和盖粘合的需要，使得器件更易于制造。 Further, the lead frame is eliminated, the package (Potting) and a cover bonded required to make the device easier to manufacture.
热量消除 Heat elimination
依据本发明的实施例所构造的电感器和变压器的一个特征是产生热量的绕组不像传统的变压器那样，不是埋在组件内或盘绕在各自的顶部，也不像在平面变压器中那样层叠在一起。 One feature according to an embodiment of the present invention constructed of inductors and transformers is the generation of heat, unlike the conventional winding transformers as the component is not embedded in or wound around the respective top, also unlike laminated transformer in a plane together. 相反，电镀的绕组基本处于变压器或电感器器件的顶部平面和底部平面上。 Instead, the plated windings substantially in the plane of the top and bottom planar transformer or inductor device. 这种布局提供了更好的热量耗散且没有截留的热量埋在绕组内。 This arrangement provides a better dissipation of heat and no trapped heat buried within windings. 印刷电路板能够有利地附着到散热片上，只由通常仅0.005英寸厚的薄焊接掩模隔开，一半绕组和散热片热学接触，因此提供了更好的表面积热量比（surface The printed circuit board can advantageously be attached to the heat sink, separated only by a thin solder mask typically only 0.005 inches thick, and half windings thermal contact with the heat sink, thus providing a better heat than the surface area (surface
27area to beat ratio)。 27area to beat ratio). 图15显示了一个直接安装到散热片232如铜和铝上从而消除热量极佳的大表面积230的例子。 Figure 15 shows a mounted directly to the heat sink 232 such as copper and aluminum, thereby eliminating the large surface area of ​​230 heat excellent examples.
广泛的应用 Wide range of applications
借助当前本发明的实施例，可以实现许多不同的可能的匝数比。 By means of the current embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in many different possible turns ratio. 此外，通过层叠具有对齐通孔的铁磁片，能够用大量等效的绕组线匝来实现多维器件。 Further, by laminating a through hole aligned with the ferromagnetic plates, it can be used a large number of equivalent winding turns to achieve multi-dimensional device.
虽然本说明书参考特定实施例来描述本发明，但这些实施例仅仅是作为例子，并不限制本发明的范围。 While the present description will be described with reference to specific embodiments of the present invention, these embodiments are merely by way of example and do not limit the scope of the present invention. 因此，本发明的范围应该仅仅根据所附权利要求来限定。 Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be limited only the appended claims.
