  • Patent number: 10347410
    Abstract: A composite smoothing inductor that can respond to an increasing demand for downsizing, a higher driving frequency, and the like has a coupling transformer, a first smoothing inductor, a second smoothing inductor on a substrate in a concentrated manner. Two input terminals are connected to the coupling transformer. One output part of the coupling transformer is connected to the first smoothing inductor, and another output part of the coupling transformer is connected to the second smoothing inductor. The first smoothing inductor and second smoothing inductor are each connected to an output terminal. The mutual inductance of the coupling transformer is higher than the self-conductance of the first smoothing inductor and the self-conductance of the second smoothing inductor.
