Methods and apparatus including integrated conducting and inductive element for providing current

A method of making an electronic circuit, comprising:

• disposing a package comprising a load on a printed circuit board;
• and
• disposing an integrated conducting element and inductive element on the printed circuit board so that the integrated conducting element and inductive element connects to the package comprising the load, the integrated conducting element and inductive element comprising a conducting element integral with an inductive element, the inductive element comprising a magnetic element and a winding element, the winding element being comprised of a portion of the conducting element.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions that when executed cause an electronic circuit forming system to form an electronic circuit that comprises:

• a package comprising a load;
• and
• an integrated conducting element and inductive element disposed on a printed circuit board and connected to the package comprising the load, the integrated conducting element and inductive element comprising a conducting element integral with an inductive element, the inductive element comprising a magnetic element and a winding element, wherein the winding element comprises a portion of the conducting element.
