Abstract
A planar magnetic device with vertically oriented coil windings having a cross-section of a core with a torroidally-shaped winding structure taken transverse to the plane of the winding structure having two adjacent “winding windows” where the coils are present. One or more gaps in the core materials surrounding the windings store most of the energy generated by the inductor. The gap of height of at least one half the height of the winding structure is confined to the area between the winding cross-sections. Furthermore, in another aspect of the invention the gap is filled with a multi-layer structure of an alternating mono-layer of equally sized ferrite particles and a layer of synthetic resin.
