The present invention pertains to a switching regulator having two
inductors that discharge stored energy during the switching operation to
an output capacitor, which integrates the pulses and supplies an average
voltage plus ripple to a load. The two inductors are each connected to
one of a pair of equivalent inductors to form a common mode filter having
magnetically interacting windings that introduce negligible inductance in
series with a differential mode of current flow, in which the current in
the winding of one of the pair of inductors opposes the current in the
winding of the other pair of inductors during exposure to a common mode
signal resulting in a cancellation of ripple current flow reaching the
load.
