A power conversion system and a magnetic component thereof are provided. The magnetic component includes a magnetic core assembly, two windings and an air gap. The magnetic core assembly includes two substrates, four winding pillars and an auxiliary pillar unit. The four winding pillars and the auxiliary pillar unit are located between the two substrates. A connecting line of centers of the winding pillars forms a quadrangle which has a first diagonal line and a second diagonal line. One winding is wound around two winding pillars on the first diagonal line, and magnetic fluxes on these two winding pillars have the same direction and amount. The other winding is wound around the other two winding pillars located on the second diagonal line, and magnetic fluxes on these two winding pillars have the same direction and amount. The directions of the magnetic fluxes on the two neighboring winding pillars are opposite.

Disclosed herein is an improved flyback converter that separates the magnetic components of the converter into a transformer and a separate, discrete energy storage inductor. This arrangement can improve the operating efficiency of the converter by reducing the commutation losses as compared to a conventional flyback converter. The magnetic components may be constructed on separate magnetic cores or may be constructed on magnetic cores having at least one common element, thereby allowing for at least partial magnetic flux cancellation in a portion of the core, reducing core losses.

An apparatus includes a substrate, one or more integrated circuit dies on the substrate, and a stiffener affixed to the substrate. One or more sections of the stiffener may includes a magnetic material. The apparatus further includes an inductive circuit element comprising one or more conductive structures wrapped around the magnetic material. In some examples where a first coil is wrapped around a first section of the stiffener, and a second coil is wrapped around a second section of the stiffener, current supplied to the first coil generates at the second coil a current that is further transmitted to the one or more semiconductor dies.

Provided is a reactor having a core main body that includes an outer peripheral iron core, at least three iron cores, and coils. Between the iron cores adjacent to each other, a gap being magnetically coupled is formed. The reactor includes a fixture that fixes both end portions of the at least three iron cores together by passing through an interior of the outer peripheral iron core in a region between the outer peripheral iron core and the gap. The fixture includes plate-like members disposed on both end faces of the core main body and includes rod-like members that connect the plate-like members to each other by passing through the interior of the outer peripheral iron core.

In the coil mold step, a gap plate configured to fill a gap between positions where the two I-cores are placed is formed by molding with the first resin. In the main body mold step, gap plates each configured to fill a gap between the O-core and a corresponding one of the I-cores are formed by molding with the second resin.

An object of the present invention is to provide a coil component in which leakage of magnetic flux from a magnetic gap is reduced. A coil component includes: a drum-shaped core 20 having a winding core part 30 with a gap G formed therein and first and second flange parts 31 and 32; a plate-like core 40 fixed to the first and second flange parts 31 and 32; and wires W1 to W3 wound around the winding core part 30 and each having one end connected to a terminal electrode provided on the first flange part 31 and the other end connected to a terminal electrode provided on the second flange part 32. According to the present invention, the gap G formed in the winding core part 30 functions as a magnetic gap, and magnetic flux leaking from the magnetic gap is shielded by the plate-like core 40. Thus, even when the magnetic gap is provided to reduce a tolerance due to characteristic variation of a magnetic material, it is possible to solve the problem that other electronic components are affected by the leakage magnetic flux.

A coil-embedded ceramic substrate includes a plurality of ceramic layers including multi-turn coil patterns provided thereon. At least one ceramic layer of the plurality of ceramic layers includes thereon a multi-turn coil pattern and dummy patterns not electrically connected to the multi-turn coil pattern. The multi-turn coil pattern winds around and extends parallel or substantially parallel to sides of the ceramic layer. The dummy patterns are each parallel or substantially parallel to corresponding ones of the sides of the ceramic layer as an extension of portion of the coil pattern in an extending direction.
