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.
