Abstract
Techniques are provided for a multiple-layer planar transformer having center taps of a segmented winding. In an example, a multiple-layer planar transformer can be a coupled inductor circuit including a first winding comprising a conductive coil having an electrical path defining and encircling the central axis, a second winding configured to magnetically couple with the first winding, the second winding having a plurality of individual segments, wherein each individual segment forms a fraction of one turn of the second winding, and a first output inductor coupled to a first common node of the second winding. The first common node can directly couple a first node of a first individual segment of the plurality of individual segments with a first node of a second individual segment of the plurality of individual segments.
