  • Publication number: 20250210243
    Abstract: A magnetic component is provided. The cross-sectional area of each lateral core part of the magnetic component is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the first middle core part. The magnetic component generates nonlinear inductance variations at different currents for achieving different coupling coefficients. Consequently, when the magnetic component operates at low current, the magnetic component maintains a non-coupled high inductance. On the other hand, when the magnetic component operates at high current, the magnetic component achieves high saturation and reduced inductance by the lateral core parts of the magnetic component. Simultaneously, the coupling degree is increased automatically, the AC current peak is reduced, and the magnetic flux is evenly distributed on the upper cover core part or the lower cover core part. Consequently, the magnetic component has advantage of reducing the component loss and the conduction loss in the power supply.
