Planar transformer arrangement
First Claim
1. A planar transformer arrangement to provide isolation between an input signal and an output signal, the planar transformer arrangement comprising:
- a planar dielectric medium having a first side and a second side;
a meandering primary winding arranged on the first side of the planar medium, a current flow being induced within the primary winding in accordance with the input signal;
a meandering secondary winding arranged on the second side of the planar medium,the primary and secondary windings forming a planar transformer, wherein a voltage is induced across the secondary winding in accordance with the current flow within the primary winding; and
a mode elimination arrangement configured to produce a compensated voltage by compensating for a common mode interference on the voltage induced across the secondary winding, the mode elimination arrangement being further configured to generate the output signal in accordance with the compensated voltage; and
wherein the planar medium provides a voltage isolation between the primary and secondary windings.

Abstract
A planar transformer arrangement and method provide isolation between an input signal and an output signal. The planar transformer arrangement includes a planar medium having a first layer, a second layer, and a dielectric interlayer arranged between the first and second layers; at least one meandering primary winding arranged on the first layer of the planar medium, a current flow being induced within the primary winding in accordance with the input signal; at least one meandering secondary winding arranged on the second layer of the planar medium, the primary and secondary windings forming a planar transformer, whereby a voltage is induced across the secondary winding in accordance with the current flow within the primary winding; and a mode elimination arrangement configured to produce a compensated voltage by compensating for a common mode interference on the voltage induced across the secondary winding, the mode elimination arrangement being further configured to generate the output signal in accordance with the compensated voltage; wherein the dielectric interlayer of the planar medium provides a voltage isolation between the primary and secondary windings.
