  • Patent number: 9768743
    Abstract: A circuit includes a reference voltage circuit, a filter circuit configured to receive an output of the reference voltage circuit, and a voltage follower configured to receive an output of the filter circuit and generate a bias voltage. The filter circuit is configured to combine signals on a reference ground with the output of the reference voltage circuit. A method of providing a bias voltage includes generating a reference voltage using a reference voltage circuit, filtering the reference voltage to generate a second voltage using a filter circuit, and generating the bias voltage according to the second voltage using a voltage follower circuit. Filtering the reference voltage includes combining a fluctuation of the reference ground with the reference voltage.

  • Patent number: 9312060
    Abstract: A transformer includes a first loops and second loops. The first loops include a first set of input terminals. The first loops include at least three loops that are conductively coupled to each other in series by first crossovers. The second loops include a first set of output terminals. The second loops include at least three loops that are conductively coupled to each other in series by second crossovers. Each of the second conductive loops is inductively coupled to and nested within a respective one of the first conductive loops.
