Abstract: A DC/DC converter includes N inductors and N power modules which correspond to N phases. The N inductors each include a plurality of inductor chips that are electrically connected in parallel to each other. The plurality of inductor chips are mounted separately on a main mounting surface and a sub-mounting surface of a printed circuit board. The sub-mounting surface is opposite to the main mounting surface.

Abstract: There is provided a DC/DC converter that can eliminate the necessity of current sense resistors to thereby reduce the mounting area, improve the efficiency, and realize favorable transient characteristics. A multi-phase DC/DC converter with N phases (N is an integer equal to or greater than 2) is provided. A high-side transistor MH, a low-side transistor ML, and an inductor L are provided for each phase φ. Output power supply wiring connects a load side end of each of N inductors L1 to LN and a load. The output power supply wiring is branched from the load toward the load side ends of the N inductors L1 to LN. A coil current flowing through an inductor Li of an ith phase φi (i=1, 2, . . . N) is detected based on a voltage drop Vsi of a branch portion bri corresponding to the phase φi of the output power supply wiring.

Abstract: An input smoothing circuit is provided between an input line and a ground line. A high-side transistor and a low-side transistor are provided in series between the two ends of the input smoothing circuit. The high-side transistor and the low-side transistor are arranged side by side in a first direction on a circuit board. Two current loops that run through the smoothing circuit, the high-side transistor, and the low-side transistor are formed to be substantially linearly symmetrical with respect to an axis of symmetry that extends in the first direction.

Abstract: A printed circuit board has an in-pad via. In a first step, a component is mounted on a first surface of a printed circuit board. A screen to be used in a second step has openings at positions corresponding to those of a plurality of pads on a second surface and has a recess positioned to overlap an in-pad via. Solder cream is applied from above the screen, and the screen is removed. Then, a component is mounted on the second surface.
