The claimed invention relates to arrangements of inductors and integrated circuit dice. One embodiment pertains to an integrated circuit die that has an inductor formed thereon. The inductor includes an inductor winding having a winding input and a winding output. The inductor also comprises an inductor core array having at least first and second sets of inductor core elements that are magnetically coupled with the inductor winding. Each inductor core element in the first set of inductor core elements is formed from a first metallic material. Each inductor core element in the second set of inductor core elements is formed from a second metallic material that has a different magnetic coercivity than the first magnetic material. The inductor further comprises a set of spacers that electrically isolate the inductor core elements. Some embodiments involve multiple inductor windings and/or multiple inductor core elements that magnetically interact in various ways. Particular embodiments involve core elements having different compositions and/or sizes.
