Abstract: A magnetically biased choke includes a magnetic circuit with at least one stack consisting of a plurality of magnetically soft segments), of which at least some are disposed at a spacing from each other, and of a coil which is wound about the stack, at least two permanent magnet segments being inserted into the stack and at least one magnetically soft segment being disposed between the at least two permanent magnet segments.

Abstract: An inductive component with a magnetic circuit is made of a magnetically soft core material, the circuit having at least one gap which extends in the Y direction from a first end-side free end of the core material to an opposite second end-side end of the core material, at least one coil which is wound around at least one part of the core material, and a permanent magnet unit which consists of multiple mutually spaced individual permanent magnetic elements, each of which has a magnetizing direction, the directions oriented in an at least approximately identical manner to the Y direction The individual magnets are stacked next to one another in a mutually spaced manner in a direction which is at least approximately orthogonal to the Y direction. There is high magnetic biasing of the inductor by means of the permanent magnets, little power loss, a simple production, and a high fill factor.
