Abstract
A magnetic element for multi-phase is composed by burying a plurality of coils in a composite magnetic material such that a negative coupling of magnetic fluxes or a positive coupling of magnetic fluxes exists between at least two coils. This structure more miniaturizes inductors, or choke coils as the multi-phase magnetic element suitably used for application of a large current to many kinds of electronic equipment. Such multi-phase magnetic element has an excellent ripple current property.
