An integrated circuit is described. The integrated circuit includes an inductor that has a large empty area in the center of the inductor. The integrated circuit also includes additional circuitry. The additional circuitry is located within the large empty area in the center of the inductor. The additional circuitry may include a capacitor bank, transistors, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuitry and other miscellaneous passive or active circuits.

Methods and apparatus for inductors with integrated passive and active elements

Embodiments of the invention may provide for power amplifier systems and methods. The systems and methods may include a power amplifier that generates a first differential output signal and a second differential output signal, a primary winding comprised of a plurality of primary segments, where a first end of each primary segment is connected to a first common input port and a second end of each primary segment is connected to a second common input port, where the first common input port is operative to receive the first differential output signal, and where the second common input port is operative to receive the second differential output signal, and a single secondary winding inductively coupled to the plurality of primary segments.
