<p>An M-winding coupled inductor (800) includes a first end magnetic element (802), a second end magnetic element (804), M connecting magnetic elements (902), and M windings (904). M is an integer greater than one. Each connecting magnetic element (902) is disposed between and connects the first (802) and second (804) end magnetic elements. Each winding (904) is wound at least partially around a respective one of the M connecting magnetic elements (902). The coupled inductor further includes at least one top magnetic element (806) adjacent to and extending at least partially over at least two of the M connecting magnetic elements to provide a magnetic flux path between the first and second end magnetic elements. The inductor may be included in an M-phase power supply, and the power supply may at least partially power a computer processor.</p> |
