Abstract: The subject matter described herein provides systems and techniques for the integration of TLVR technology in a vertical power VR module. A multiple-secondary TLVR topology using a controlled leakage inductance in the place of a separate compensation inductor, Lc, may be employed for the vertical power VR module. In addition, the capacitance inside the device to which the TLVR based vertical power VR module supplies power, rather than an output capacitance board, may be used in order to allow the module to be a single layer. Example structures that may include one or more primary windings and/or one or more secondary windings for each of possibly multiple linked phases of the TLVR based module are provided. The windings may be formed using traditional copper windings or printed circuit board (PCB) copper trace winding.

Abstract: Disclosed examples include integrated magnetic circuits for LLC resonant converters, including an inductor cell and multiple transformer cells with cores arranged in a stack structure. The individual transformer cells include primary and secondary windings extending around the transformer core structure, and a secondary transistor connected in series with the secondary winding. One or more windings are shaped near core stack gaps to reduce core and winding losses. The inductor cell includes an inductor winding extending around the inductor core structure to provide the inductor, and the capacitor. The inductor cell is arranged in the stack structure with the transformer cells to magnetically couple the transformer primary windings, the inductor winding and the transformer secondary windings in a single magnetic circuit to cancel cell to cell flux.
