Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide circuitry employing an inductor having enhanced circuit area usage. The circuitry includes an inductor having a first loop and a second loop adjoining the first loop to form a figure-eight configuration. The circuitry further includes a circuit component disposed at least partially inside an area defined by at least one of the first loop and the second loop. The inductor has an intersection portion between the first loop and the second loop. An input node is located proximate to the intersection portion, the input node having a first extension disposed inside the first loop. An output node is located proximate to the intersection portion. The output node has a second extension disposed inside the second loop. At least a first capacitor is coupled to the input node and the second extension, and at least a second capacitor coupled to the output node and the first extension.
