Abstract
A monolythic multilayer chip inductor includes a plurality of subassemblies stacked one above another. Each of the subassemblies includes a ferrite layer having a coil conductor printed on its upper surface. All of the ferrite layers except for the bottom layer and a ferrite top cap include via holes therein for permitting interconnection of the electrical interconnection of the conductor coils from one layer to the other. One end of the top coil conductor is exposed adjacent the edge of the chip, and one end of the bottom coil conductor is exposed adjacent another edge of the chip so that the conductors can be connected to terminals for introducing electrical current which will pass through all of the interconnected coils.
