Abstract: The present invention provides an inductor device comprising one or more interconnected columns of conductive material embedded in a supporting structure, wherein the one or more columns comprise an input terminal and an output terminal; and wherein each column is surrounded by a first magnetic layer.

Abstract: A power converter is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the power converter includes a first stage comprising a current source and a second stage comprising n output circuits for converting the current signal into n corresponding output voltages. Each of the n output circuits includes an output switch responsive to a corresponding nth control signal for regulating the corresponding nth output voltage. The second stage further comprises a controller for generating the n control signals. The controller includes, for each of the n output circuits, an error amplifier, a waveform generator, and a summing circuit. Each error amplifier is configured to generate an output signal based upon a comparison of the output voltage of the nth output circuit and a corresponding nth reference voltage. Each waveform generator generates a waveform signal.
