Method and system for a configurable transformer integrated on chip

Abstract

Aspects of a method and system for a configurable transformer integrated on-chip are provided. In this regard, an integrated circuit may comprise a transformer with a configurable windings ratio, and the windings ratio may be configured to enable transmitting and/or receiving signals via an antenna communicatively coupled to said transformer. The windings ratio may be configured based on an impedance of the antenna, a transmitter communicatively coupled to the transformer, a receiver communicatively coupled to the transformer, and/or a power level or transmitted and/or received signals. The windings ratio may be configured via one or more switching elements which may be active devices integrated on-chip. The transformer may comprise a plurality of loops fabricated on a corresponding plurality of metal layers in said integrated circuit and the loops may be coupled with one or more vias. The IC may also comprise ferrimanetic and/or ferromagnetic materials.
