A power converter including a power train, a controller and a driver. In one embodiment, the power train includes a switch that conducts for a duty cycle and provides a regulated output characteristic for the power converter, and a micromagnetic device. The micromagnetic device includes a first conductive winding layer selectively formed above a first seed layer, and first and second magnetic core layers formed thereabove. The micromagnetic device also includes a second seed layer formed above the second magnetic core layer, and a second conductive winding layer formed above the second seed layer and in vias to the first conductive winding layer. The first and second conductive winding layers form a winding for the micromagnetic device. The controller provides a signal to control the duty cycle of the switch, and the driver provides a drive signal to the switch as a function of the signal from the controller.
