Abstract
A prototype 50 W, 40 V to 5 V DC/DC converter is presented that operates at 5 MHz and was constructed using chip an wire hybrid techniques on a ceramic substrate with copper-based thick film conductors. The use of copper thick film and the design of very-low-inductance transformers and interconnects are also discussed. Direct connection of a flexible-insulator transformer winding directly to a rectifier die and a surface mount capacitor made it possible to achieve a net 2 nH of leakage inductance
