Patent attributes
The present disclosure relates to composite inductor structures for use in integrated circuits. There is provided a composite inductor structure comprising a first inductor coil and a second inductor coil. The second inductor coil comprises a multi-turn loop that surrounds the first inductor coil. The first inductor coil comprises two multi-turn loops which are connected in a figure-of-eight configuration about a central terminal so as to cause a current flowing in a first loop of the multi-turn loops to circulate around the first loop in a first rotational direction, and a current flowing in a second loop of the multi-turn loops to circulate around the second loop in a second rotational direction opposite the rotational direction of current flow in the first loop, said direction of current flow in the first and second loops being mirror images of each other.
