Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods of manufacture relating to PCB embedded inductors are described in the present disclosure. Namely, an example device includes a substrate having an upper surface and an opposing lower surface. The device also includes a plurality of upper conductors disposed along the upper surface and a plurality of lower conductors disposed along the lower surface. The upper conductors and the lower conductors are radially disposed about a central axis. Each of the upper conductors and the lower conductors includes a petal shape. A distance between adjacent upper conductors is less than a width of each upper conductor and a distance between adjacent lower conductors is less than a width of each lower conductor. The device also includes a plurality of through-substrate conductors connecting respective upper conductors to respective lower conductors so as to form a series electrical connection. The series electrical connection includes a toroid configuration.

Claim (Index 9):
A device comprising:\n a plurality of upper conductors disposed along an upper surface of a substrate, wherein the plurality of upper conductors is radially disposed about a central axis, wherein a trace clearance between adjacent upper conductors is less than a width of each upper conductor, wherein the substrate comprises a printed circuit board (PCB); a plurality of lower conductors disposed along a lower surface of the substrate, wherein the lower substrate is disposed opposite the upper surface, wherein the plurality of lower conductors is radially disposed about the central axis, wherein a trace clearance between adjacent lower conductors is less than a width of each lower conductor; and a plurality of through-substrate conductors connecting respective upper conductors to respective lower conductors so as to form a series electrical connection, wherein the series electrical connection comprises a toroid configuration, wherein the toroid configuration comprises a plurality of turns about a reference circle that is defined along a reference plane between the upper surface and the lower surface.
