Abstract
A matrix integrated magnetics (MIM) “Extended E” core in which a plurality of outer legs are disposed on a base and separated along a first outer edge to define windows therebetween. A center leg is disposed on the top region of the base and separated from the outer legs to define a center window. The center leg is suitably positioned along a second outer edge opposite the first or between outer legs positioned along opposing outer edges. A plate is disposed on the outer legs opposite the base.

A matrix integrated magnetic (MIM) core, comprising:
- a base having first and second outer edges separated by a top region;
- a plurality of outer legs on top of said base along two opposite edges of said base defining windows therebetween;
- a center leg on said top region of said base disposed along a center of said base between said outer legs, separated from and spanning said outer legs to define two center windows;
- and
- a plate opposite said base that covers said outer legs and windows therebetween, said center leg and said center windows.
A method of forming a matrix integrated magnetic (MIM) core, comprising:
- forming a base having first and second outer edges separated by a top region;
- forming a plurality of outer legs on top of said base along two opposite edges of said base defining windows therebetween;
- forming a center leg on said top region of said base disposed along a center of said base between said outer legs, separated from and spanning said outer legs to define two center windows;
- and
- placing a plate opposite said base that covers said outer legs and windows therebetween, said center leg and said center windows.
