  • Patent number: 11025219
    Abstract: A filtering circuit includes at least two common-mode filters that are electrically coupled in series and magnetically coupled. The first common-mode filter includes first and second spiral inductors that are positively magnetically coupled and electrically isolated from each other. The second common-mode filter includes third and fourth spiral inductors that are positively magnetically coupled and electrically isolated from each other. The first and third spiral inductors are electrically connected in series and negatively magnetically coupled. Likewise, the second and fourth spiral inductors are electrically connected in series and negatively magnetically coupled.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6867474
    Abstract: An inductance integrated in a monolithic circuit, including a conductive spiral having an internal end connected to a connection track, the spiral and the connection track belonging to a same metallization level, in which the connection between the internal end of the spiral and the connection track is formed by a connecting track belonging to a metallization level higher than the metallization level of the spiral.
