US 2024/0412913 A1 · MULTI-POLE INDUCTOR STRUCTURES WITH INHERENT HIGH ISOLATION

Abstract

An inductor structure has a first terminal and a second terminal, and includes a conductor path between the first terminal and the second terminal. The conductor path includes a first inductor, a second inductor, a third inductor, a fourth inductor, a fifth inductor, and a sixth inductor. The conductor path may be configured such that, when a current flows from the first terminal to the second terminal, the current flows in a first direction in the first inductor, the third inductor, and the fifth inductor, and the current flows in a second direction in the second inductor, the fourth inductor, and the sixth inductor. The first direction may be clockwise and the second direction may be counterclockwise, or vice versa.

An apparatus, comprising:

an inductor structure having a first terminal and a second terminal, the inductor structure comprising:
a conductor path between the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein the conductor path includes a first inductor, a second inductor, a third inductor, a fourth inductor, a fifth inductor, and a sixth inductor, and wherein the conductor path is configured such that, when a current flows from the first terminal to the second terminal, the current flows in a first direction in the first inductor, the third inductor, and the fifth inductor, and the current flows in a second direction in the second inductor, the fourth inductor, and the sixth inductor.

An apparatus, comprising:

an inductor structure having a first terminal and a second terminal, the inductor structure comprising a conductor path defined by:
a first loop portion partially enclosing a first area;
a second loop portion partially enclosing a second area;
a third loop portion partially enclosing a third area, the second loop portion positioned between the first loop portion and the third loop portion;
a fourth loop portion partially enclosing a fourth area, the third loop portion positioned between the second loop portion and the fourth loop portion;
a fifth loop portion partially enclosing a fifth area, the fourth loop portion positioned between the third loop portion and the fifth loop portion;
and
a sixth loop portion enclosing partially enclosing a sixth area, the fifth loop portion positioned between the third loop portion and the sixth loop portion, wherein the first loop portion, the second loop portion, the third loop portion, the forth loop portion, the fifth loop portion, and the sixth loop portion are positioned in a circular arrangement such that a circumference of a circle passes through each of the first loop portion, the second loop portion, the third loop portion, the forth loop portion, the fifth loop portion, and the sixth loop portion.
