Radio frequency (RF) inductive signal coupler and method therefor
Abstract:
A reference circuit includes an integrated circuit (IC) formed on a semiconductor substrate including a first spiral inductor and a second spiral inductor. The first spiral inductor is formed from a first metal layer over the substrate. The second spiral inductor is formed from a second metal layer. The second spiral inductor is offset from the first spiral inductor and includes a first portion overlapping the first spiral inductor. A first capacitor includes a first terminal coupled to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal and a second terminal coupled to a first terminal of the first spiral inductor, and second capacitor includes a first terminal coupled to a second terminal of the first spiral inductor.
