Patent number: 9823274Abstract: A low-cost and high-precision current sensing device and methods for use and manufacturing. In one embodiment, the current sensing apparatus comprises a Rogowski-type coil which is manufactured in segments so as to facilitate the manufacturing process. In an exemplary embodiment, the current sensing apparatus segments comprise a number of bobbin elements that are wound and subsequently formed into complex geometric shapes such as torus-like shapes. In an alternative embodiment, bonded windings are utilized which allow the segments to be formed without a bobbin or former. In yet another alternative embodiment, the aforementioned current sensing devices are stacked in groups of two or more. Methods of manufacturing and using the aforementioned current sensing apparatus are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2010Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Pulse Electronics, Inc.Inventors: James Douglas Lint, Fuxue Jin, Francisco Michel, Victor Aldaco

Patent number: 7567163Abstract: A low cost, low profile, small size and high performance inductive device for use in, e.g., electronic circuits. In one exemplary embodiment, the device includes a ferrite core comprising multiple inductors and optimized for electrical and magnetic performance. Improvements in performance are obtained by, inter alia, control of the properties of the gap region(s) as well as placement of the windings relative to the gap. The magnetic path properties of the inductors at the ends of the device are also optionally controllable so as to provide precise matching of inductances. Optionally, the device is also self-leaded, thereby simplifying its installation and mating to a parent device (e.g., PCB). Methods for manufacturing and utilizing the device are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2005Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Pulse Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Majid Dadafshar, Francisco Michel
