Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide circuitry employing one or more inductors having an unconventional turn-ratio. The circuitry includes a primary inductor having a first length located on a first layer of an integrated circuit (IC). The circuitry further includes a secondary inductor having a second length located on a second layer of the IC different from the first layer, whereby the second length is greater than the first length, with a ratio between the first and the second lengths corresponding to a non-integer turn-ratio.
