  • High current integrated circuit-based transformer
    Patent number: 11742130
    Abstract: An integrated circuit transformer (150) is formed with a primary winding (91) located in at least a first winding layer having a first thickness, a secondary winding (92) located in at least the first winding layer and having a first center point at the first side of the transformer and two secondary terminals at a second, opposite side of the transformer, and a first center tap feed line (81) located along a symmetry axis of the transformer in an upper metal layer having a second thickness that is at least equivalent to the first thickness of the first winding layer, wherein the first center tap feed line has a direct electrical connection to the first center point in the secondary winding.

  • Fringe capacitor arranged based on metal layers with a selected orientation of a preferred direction
    Patent number: 11532546
    Abstract: A fringe capacitor comprises a plurality of unidirectional metal layers, wherein an orientation of a preferred direction of each of the unidirectional metal layers is in a same direction. First fingers of the fringe capacitor are formed in a first layer of the unidirectional metal layers, the first fingers being interdigitated and having a direction parallel to the orientation of the preferred direction. Second fingers of the fringe capacitor are formed in a second layer of the unidirectional metal layers, the second fingers being interdigitated and having a direction parallel to the orientation of the preferred direction, the first layer and the second layer separated by at least a layer of not having the orientation of the preferred direction and not having fingers of the fringe capacitor.
