Abstract

A planar transformer includes a multilayer printed circuit board having a plurality of spiral windings formed by metalization on various surfaces of the printed circuit board. A ferrite core assembly includes first and second core sections disposed on opposite sides of the printed circuit board and completely confining the conductors of the spiral windings. Each core section includes a thin, flat plate. The two flat plates are integral with or abut thin post sections that are thick enough to allow the printed circuit board to be accommodated between the first and second core sections. In one embodiment of the invention, the planar transformer is incorporated on the printed circuit board with other circuitry to form a low noise battery charger which is encapsulated in a male power connector.
