Coupling Structure for Inductive Device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An integrated circuit device comprising:
- a first inductive device and a second inductive device separated by a first distance; and
a first continuous conductive material surrounding but electrically separated from both the first inductive device and the second inductive device, wherein the first continuous conductive material renders a mutual inductance between the first inductive device and the second inductive device independent of the first distance.

Abstract
A circuit includes a coupling structure and a first inductive device. The coupling structure includes two or more conductive loops and a set of conductive paths electrically connecting the two or more conductive loops. The first inductive device is magnetically coupled with a first conductive loop of the two or more conductive loops.
