MULTILAYER FOIL-WOUND INDUCTORS HAVING ALTERNATING LAYERS

摘要

A multilayer foil winding in a foil-wound magnetic circuit component (200) has conductors (202, 204, 402, 408) that alternate at various points such that the conductors share current more effectively than multiple non-alternating conductors. AC resistance of the multilayer winding is therefore decreased relative to a single, thicker, layer of foil conductor or a multilayer winding that does not alternate layer positions.
