A coil arrangement with reduced core losses is provided. The coil arrangement has a first coil and a second coil and a ferrite layer below the coils. A perpendicular recess in the ferrite layer is provided to reduce magnetic flux density in a center conduction path.

The present invention provides a multi-coil inductive power transfer primary comprising a plurality of coil. A power transfer regime is selected based on a determined load on each of the plurality of coils.

An isolated switch-mode power supply includes at least one input, at least one output, and a power circuit coupled between the at least one input and the at least one output for converting an input voltage or current to an output voltage or current. The power circuit includes a transformer having one or more primary windings, one or more secondary windings, an electrical insulator, and a core magnetically coupling the one or more primary windings and the one or more secondary windings. Upper portions of the primary and secondary windings are covered with the electrical insulator. Other example switchmode power supplies, transformers, magnetic chokes and methods are also disclosed.

An upper end portion and a lower end portion of a second magnetic portion of a coil component are further away from a coil than when a third part and a fifth part are not present. For this reason, a magnetic flux is unlikely to be concentrated in the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the second magnetic portion, so that magnetic saturation is unlikely to occur. Therefore, improvement of direct current superimposition characteristics is realized in the coil component.

The present disclosure concerns a magnetic component (1), especially for a wireless charging transformer, including a magnetic core (2), at least one flat pre-wound major electrical coil (3) disposed on the magnetic core (2) and at least one minor electrical coil (4) wound around the magnetic core (2). The present disclosure also concerns a transformer (100) including the magnetic component (1) as a primary magnetic component (101).

Systems, methods and apparatus for wireless charging are disclosed. A charging device has a resonant circuit that includes a transmitting coil. The charging device also has a driver circuit configured to power the resonant circuit, a pulse width modulator and a controller configured to provide a control signal to the pulse width modulator the control signal configuring the pulse width to provide a modulated drive signal to the driver circuit. The pulse width modulator is configured to provide the modulated drive signal to the resonant circuit. The resonant circuit is configured to operate as a low-pass filter that blocks frequency components of the modulated drive signal that correspond to the reference signal. The driver circuit is configured to use the modulated drive signal to produce a charging current in the resonant circuit. The charging current causes power to be wirelessly transferred to a receiving device through the transmitting coil.

A nozzle is configured for depositing a deposition mixture of the magnetic material and the binder material on a surface and a preheater is configured to preheat the deposition mixture before depositing on the surface. A controller is in operative communication with the magnetic material supply, the binder material supply, and the preheater. The controller is configured to receive an inductor core design file that represents a geometry and a magnetic permeability distribution of an inductor core, move the nozzle to one or more deposition locations, and adjust the magnetic material flow rate to the binder material flow rate to achieve a deposition mixture having a desired magnetic permeability at the deposition locations.
