Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A coupled inductor comprises an annular core 1 and coils 2 a, 2 b wound around the core. The annular core 1 includes a sendust core having a maximum differential permeability that is equal to or greater than 30.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A coupled inductor comprising: an annular core including a sendust core having a maximum differential permeability that is equal to or greater than 30 wherein the sendust core is formed from a binder of silicon resin and a lubricant with an aqueous atomized powder having an average particle diameter of 40 um; and a coil wound around the core, wherein the coil includes two coils wound around the core such that magnetic fluxes generated from the two coils are oriented in opposite direction to each other, wherein a coupling coefficient of the coupled inductor formed by the two coils is equal to or smaller than 0.8. 2. The coupled inductor according to claim 1 , wherein the annular core is formed by combining a plurality of cores. 3. The coupled inductor according to claim 2 , wherein the annular core comprises two U-shaped core members abutting end faces thereof with each other. 4. The coupled inductor according to claim 2 , wherein the annular core comprises a gap formed between opposing end faces of respective cores. 5. The coupled inductor according to claim 4 , wherein the gap is formed by disposing a spacer made of ceramic plate between the opposing end faces of the respective cores. 6. The coupled inductor according to claim 1 , wherein the coil comprises an edgewise winding. 7. A coupled inductor comprising: an annular core including a sendust core having a maximum differential permeability that is equal to or greater than 30; and a coil wound around the core, wherein the coil includes two coils wound around the core such that magnetic fluxes generated from the two coils are oriented in opposite direction to each other, wherein the sendust core is formed from a binder of silicon resin and a lubricant with an aqueous atomized powder having an average particle diameter of 40 um. 8. A coupled inductor according to claim 1 , wherein the two coils are disposed in parallel to each other in the same axis direction.
