Coupled inductor structure in tlvr technology and multi-phase voltage regulator module using same

Abstract

An inductor structure in a TLVR technology and a multi-phase voltage regulator module using the same are provided. The inductor structure includes a magnetically permeable core and at least one coupled winding combination, wherein the coupled winding combination includes at least one main winding and at least one auxiliary winding. At least one portion of each main winding is coupled with at least one portion of at least one auxiliary winding. The inductor structure has opposing first surface and second surface. Two ends of the main winding are respectively exposed out of the magnetically permeable core on the first surface and the second surface. And two ends of the auxiliary winding are respectively exposed out of the magnetically permeable core on the first surface and the second surface.
