Abstract

A broadside coupled coplanar inductor device includes first and second coplanar inductors in which the conductors of the first and second coplanar inductors are broadside coupled. The conductors are located one above the other at a first distance and the return paths are located to the side of the respective first and second conductor signal paths at a second distance. One or both of the dimensions of the first and second first distances is defined so as to maximize a mutual inductance between the conductors. First and second driver circuit apply voltages across each conductor. The input pulse width modulation signals applied to the first and second driver circuits are 180 degrees out of phase.
