Abstract
Abstract A laminated transformer includes a plurality of ferrite sheets having surfaces on which conductor patterns are formed and are laminated and baked to be a sintered body, and a pair of the primary external electrodes and a pair of the secondary external electrodes are provided at end faces of the sintered body. The transformer is used mainly in a high frequency circuit, the conductor patterns formed at the laminated ferrite sheets being used as the primary or the secondary, both ends of the primary conductor patterns being electrically connected to the pair of the primary external electrodes and both ends of the secondary conductor patterns being electrically connected to the pair of the secondary external electrodes, so that the primary and secondary conductor patterns have no coiled construction and no self-distributed capacity, so that the laminated transformer will no induce self-resonance even when used in a high frequency band.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
A laminated transformer comprising: a laminated sintered body comprising a plurality of ferrite sheets, each of said ferrite sheets having end faces, and a conductor pattern thereon having each end extending to different portions of said end faces, the conductor patterns of some of said plurality of ferrite sheets serving as the primary of the transformer and the conductor patterns of the remainder of said plurality of ferrite sheets serving as the secondary of the transformer; and a pair of primary electrodes connecting the conductor patterns serving as the primary of the transformer in parallel, and a pair of secondary electrodes connecting the conductor patterns serving as the secondary of the transformer in parallel, said pair of primary electrodes electrically connected to ends of only the conductor patterns serving as the primary of the transformer at first and second locations from and to which the conductor patterns serving as the primary of the transformer extend, respectively, and said pair of secondary electrodes electrically connected to ends of only the conductor patterns serving as the secondary of the transformer at third and fourth locations from and to which the conductor patterns serving as the secondary of the transformer extend, respectively.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
199 words
A laminated transformer comprising: a laminated sintered body comprising a plurality of ferrite sheets, each of said ferrite sheets having end faces, and a conductor pattern thereon having each end extending to different portions of said end faces, the conductor patterns of some of said plurality of ferrite sheets serving as the primary of the transformer and the conductor patterns of the remainder of said plurality of ferrite sheets serving as the secondary of the transformer; and a pair of primary electrodes connecting the conductor patterns serving as the primary of the transformer in parallel, and a pair of secondary electrodes connecting the conductor patterns serving as the secondary of the transformer in parallel, said pair of primary electrodes electrically connected to ends of only the conductor patterns serving as the primary of the transformer at first and second locations from and to which the conductor patterns serving as the primary of the transformer extend, respectively, and said pair of secondary electrodes electrically connected to ends of only the conductor patterns serving as the secondary of the transformer at third and fourth locations from and to which the conductor patterns serving as the secondary of the transformer extend, respectively.
