1. A magnetic device, comprising:
- a magnetic core, comprising;
a first core section, comprising;
a single-piece, first L-core segment including a first leg and a second leg extending therefrom, andan opposing, single-piece, second L-core segment including a first leg and a second leg extending therefrom; and
a second core section, comprising;
a single-piece, first L-core segment including a first leg and a second leg extending therefrom, andan opposing, single-piece, second L-core segment including a first leg and a second leg extending therefrom, a surface of said second core section being mated to a surface of said first core section;
a first primary winding and a second primary winding formed around at least one of said first leg and said second leg of said first L-core segment or said second L-core segment of said first core section or said second core section;
a center-tapped secondary winding with a first secondary winding and a second secondary winding formed around at least one of said first leg and said second leg of said first L-core segment or said second L-core segment of said first core section or said second core section, said first primary winding and said first secondary winding being formed around a common leg; and
an inductor winding formed around at least one of said first leg and said second leg of said first L-core segment or said second L-core segment of said first core section or said second core section.
