Abstract
A Fully symmetric multi-turn twisted inductor is presented for the suppression of on-chip interference in the transmit chain of a LTE transceiver chip implemented in TSMC 65nm CMOS process. The inductor is ultra-compact, symmetrical and presents up to ×3 inductance density as compared to a standard spiral inductor. Magnetic coupling reduction of more than 12dB was measured and EM simulation results validate the design procedure. A simple and accurate closed form expression for the inductance estimation is introduced for the first time in the context of planar twisted-inductors to simplify the design process.
