US 2026/0262167 A1 · PACKAGE FOR POWER MODULE

Abstract

An electronic system comprising a printed circuit board having a conductive trace that is coupled to a voltage output is provided. A voltage regulator is disposed on the printed circuit board that includes a voltage regulator phase output terminal. Additionally, the electronic system comprises an inductor module coupled with the voltage regulator. The inductor module includes an inductor core and an inductor segment having a first and a second end, where the inductor segment first end is connected to the voltage regulator phase output terminal and the inductor segment second end is connected to the printed circuit board conductive trace. The inductor segment is configured to pass through and wrap around at least a portion of the inductor core and the voltage regulator is configured to transfer heat through the voltage regulator phase output terminal to the inductor segment and the inductor module.
