Abstract
A surface mount power inductor includes a preformed conductive winding clip and first and second-shaped core pieces. The core pieces may be configured to reduce unbalanced force experienced in the power inductor in certain types of power management circuitry. Reduction in the unbalanced force reduces vibration of the power inductor in use, and in turn reduces acoustic noise as the power inductor operates.
