Abstract
The present invention is directed to a compact inductor having the required (predetermined) inductance and current rating, further designed to avoid substantial heat generation by avoiding saturation, winding(s) possessing a low DC resistance and copper loss, and minimizing the required volume or profile in order to conserve circuit board real-estate. The compact inductor design of the present invention includes both enclosed core as well as enclosed winding type of inductor designs.
