Magnetic topologies for distributed and interleaved switched converters

This paper describes several Magnetic topologies of D&I converters systems. Distributed and Interleaved systems and their benefits are reviewed first. Then, considering the conventional acceptance that inverse coupling of Inductors in D&I system empower the filtering capability of D&I system the following topologies are offered: First, standard parallel/series Ladder topology, Second, Symmetrical structures with higher filtering efficiency. Third, a 2D Inductor matrix with magnetic core based on MEMs technology is presented. The fourth topology is a novel new 3D Matrix topology suited for integrated power ASICS.
