A switching regulator may comprise an inductor housed in an inductor housing, a wire electrically coupled to the inductor and housed in the inductor housing, an electrical component including a terminal, and a board including a board trace. The board trace may electrically couple the terminal with first wire. The electrical component and the inductor housing may be attached to the board. The attachment of the inductor housing to the board may create a space between the inductor housing and the board. The electrical component may be disposed within the space.

Power conversion device with integrated discrete inductor

A switching regulator may include an inductor housing, a board, and one or more electrical components. The inductor housing may house an inductor and one or more wires. The board may include one or more board traces and one or more solder pads. The electrical components may include one or more chips, capacitors, voltage sources, and/or other electrical components. The inductor housing may be attached to the board to create a space between the inductor housing and the board. The space may be created underneath the inductor housing and above the board. One or more electrical components may be attached to the board. One or more electrical components may be disposed within the space.

The invention teaches a semiconductor circuit for driving an LED in which the current passing through the LED is regulated by adjusting the NMOS Rdson using a series of digital signals. The circuit maintains a high current accuracy over wide range of current changes while keeping a low voltage drop.
