Abstract

In accordance with the invention, a low profile magnetic device comprises a crelenated ferrite body having first and second conductive paths winding around the body. Current applied to one of the conductive windings can adjust the threshold current level in the other conductive winding at which the inductance characteristic changes to a relatively constant inductance.
