  • Reconfigurable coupled inductor
    Patent number: 10910150
    Abstract: A reconfigurable coupled inductor is disclosed. In one embodiment, the reconfigurable coupled inductor comprises metal rings and switches coupled to the metal rings to control at least one inductor property (e.g., coupling coefficient) based on a closed (e.g., on) or open state (e.g., off) of each switch.

  • Method and apparatus for reducing overshoot and undershoot using a reconfigurable inductor for switching mode voltage
    Patent number: 9853546
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods for reducing overshoot and undershoot using a reconfigurable inductor in a switching voltage regulator. Specifically, the switching voltage regulator includes a reconfigurable inductor, the reconfigurable inductor has a conductive control ring, and the conductive control ring has an adjustable enclosed area controlled by at least a first switch, wherein the reconfigurable inductor has a varying inductance based on a state of at least the first switch and the adjustable enclosed area of the conductive control ring is shown.
