Patent ID: 7417875

Claim:
A power converter having input and output nodes, comprising: a switching circuit including first, second and third active phase legs, each of said first, second and third active phase legs having a first switch coupled to one of said input nodes and a second switch coupled to another of said input nodes and having a common switching node therebetween; a single matrix integrated magnetic device including first, second and third primary windings, and first, second and third secondary windings formed about a core, a terminal of each of said first, second, and third primary windings being coupled to a common switching node of said first, second and third active phase legs, respectively, wherein said matrix integrated magnetic device integrates a multiphase transformer to provide galvanic isolation between primary and secondary windings with multiphase coupled inductors to provide filtering for said power converter; and a rectifier including first, second and third rectifier elements interposed between said first, second and third secondary windings, respectively, and one of said output nodes.
