Abstract
An improved distributed-output multi-cell-element power converter utilizes a multiplicity of magnetic core elements, switching elements, capacitor elements and terminal connections in a step and repeat pattern. Stepped secondary-winding elements reduce converter output resistance and improve converter efficiency and scalability to support the high current requirements of very large scale integrated ('VLSI') circuits.
