13. A planar inductor device comprising:
-
a substrate vertically extending between an upper surface and an opposite lower surface; a ferrite body disposed in the substrate between the upper surface and the lower surface, the ferrite body having an opening that extends through the ferrite body; an input conductor disposed between the ferrite body and the upper surface of the substrate; a current-splitting conductor disposed between the ferrite body and the lower surface of the substrate; one or more conductive input vias coupled with both the input conductor and the current-splitting conductor; a current-combining conductor disposed between the ferrite body and the upper surface of the substrate; and one or more current-splitting vias coupled with both the current-splitting conductor and the current-combining conductor, wherein the input conductor, the current-splitting conductor, the current-combining conductor, the input vias, and the current-splitting vias form a conductive pathway that extends into the opening in the ferrite body and forms a plurality of conductive coils that each helically wrap around the ferrite body before combining back together and extending out of the opening in the ferrite body. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
