Abstract
In accordance with the invention, a variety of magnetic devices can be made up of two or more low-profile surface components on a printed circuit board. For example, low profile devices comparable to gapped U-core pair and gapped E-core pair inductors or transformers can be formed of two and three components, respectively, and four components can be assembled into a gapped toroidal transformer or inductor. The components can be made in form for both linear and non-linear inductors.
