Abstract
A scalable switching regulator architecture has an integrated inductor. In some embodiments an area and current drive capability of switches of the switching regulator is matched with an inductor built within an area above the switches. In some embodiments the combined switches and inductor are constructed as a unit cell and can be combined to form larger elements as required for higher current drive capability and multiphase operation.
