A composite inductor/capacitor including spaced apart sheets of conductive material formed into a spiral with the sheets being spaced apart by a dielectric material with terminals being provided on opposing sheets at opposite ends. A gapped or ungapped ferrite core may form a magnetic loop path about the component. Multiple conductive layers may be used to vary capacitance, inductance and load handling. The component may find application in high frequency (above 2OkHz) power converters (such as series-resonant power converters, phase-shifted Zero Voltage Transition full-bridge converters, asymmetric half-bridge ZVT converters or parallel- resonant converters), high frequency induction heater circuits, high frequency welder circuits and the like. |
