DC-DC DC-DC CONVERTER ASSEMBLY WITH AN OUTPUT INDUCTOR ACCOMMODATING A POWER STAGE ATTACHED TO A CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

The DC-DC converter assembly includes a substrate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, a power stage die of a DC-DC converter attached to a first side of the substrate, and an electrical connection And an output inductor disposed on the power stage die on the first side of the substrate. The output inductor includes an electrical conductor having a magnetic core and a first terminal and a second terminal attached to a first side of the substrate. The output inductor receives the power stage die below the magnetic core such that the power stage die is interposed between the magnetic core and the substrate. A method of manufacturing a corresponding DC-DC converter assembly and a method of manufacturing an output inductor are also disclosed.
