Title: Unified conductor to lower the resistance between a planar transformer and one or more inductors

Abstract

An apparatus is provided including a transformer including a first printed circuit board having one or more conducting layers, the one or more conducting layers forming, at least in part, a transformer coil; at least one inductor; and at least one continuous piece of conducting material external to the printed circuit board, where the at least one continuous piece of conducting material forms a connection between the transformer and the at least one inductor. A method is also provided for assembling a switched-mode power supply.
