Abstract:
Disclosed are apparatus and methods for arrayed embedded magnetic components that include magnetic devices that have a core that is embedded between two or more substrates and a winding pattern surrounding the core that is implemented on and through the two or more substrates. The winding pattern is operable to induce a magnetic flux within the core when energized by a time varying voltage potential. The winding pattern may be implemented by printed circuit layers, plated vias, other electrically conductive elements, and combinations thereof. Arrayed embedded magnetic components include two or more electrically interconnected magnetic devices positioned side-by-side in a horizontal integration, positioned top-to-bottom in a vertical integration, or combinations thereof. The magnetic devices may have a magnetic functionality such as, but not limited to, a transformer, inductor, and filter. Disclosed magnetic components and methods provide for low cost construction, consistent performance, and a low profile form, among other benefits.
