Abstract: The present invention relates to transformer inductor devices and to the methods of construction for inductive components such as inductors, chokes, and transformers. Plural via holes 12 are formed through a ferromagnetic substrate 10. Primary 32 and secondary 34 conductors are placed through common vias to form a plurality of cell transformers have a 1:1 turns ratio. Circuits connect these primary and secondary winding in parallel and serial combustion to provide a transformer having the desired turns ratio.

Abstract: Methods for manufacturing slot core inductors and transformers includes using large scale flex circuitry manufacturing methods and machinery for providing two mating halves of a transformer winding. One winding is inserted into the slot of a slot core and one winding is located proximate to the exterior wall of the slot core. These respective halves are joined together using solder pads or the like to form continuous windings through the slot and around the slotted core.

Abstract: Methods of construction for inductive components such as inductors, chokes, and transformers enable these components to be fabricated using mass production techniques, thereby avoiding the need to handle discrete devices during the manufacturing process. In one preferred embodiment, holes are formed through a ferromagnetic substrate and plated with conductive material. The arrangement of these holes, and the subsequent design that ensues, will form the inductive components within the plane of the media in which the device is formed; using the substrate for a magnetic core. By using this approach, the inductive components can be miniaturized to physical sizes compatible with the requirements of modern surface mount technology (SMT) for integrated circuitry (IC). In another preferred embodiment, a series of thin, concentric high permeability rings are etched on a substrate to provide high permeability transformers and inductors having minimal eddy current effects.
