Abstract
A planar inductor () comprises a conductive path in the form of a spiral pattern (A-D,A-D). A conductive connecting path (A,) connects a terminal () to an intermediate tap point (A). The connecting path comprises at least one path portion which is radially directed with respect to the spiral pattern (A-D). The connecting path (A,) can be routed via the inside of the spiral pattern. Where the connecting path comprises only radially-directed path portions, they are commonly joined at the center () of the spiral pattern. Multiple path portions (A,B) can each connect to the intermediate tap point of a respective conductive path. The connecting path can use a further conductive track () which is parallel to the conductive path which forms the spiral pattern.
