- the present invention relates to a monolithically integrable circuit arrangement having a first circuit component embodied as a differentially fed coil, which has at least one conductor loop enclosing an inner region, and having at least one further circuit component.
- Such circuits are known and are used, for example, to build tank circuits for voltage controlled oscillators (VCO, voltage controlled oscillator) and other circuits that require inductive components.
- VCO voltage controlled oscillators
- VCO voltage controlled oscillator
- a particular disadvantage of such circuit arrangements is the poor integration of coils in monolithic integrated circuits, in particular due to the relatively large space requirement of the coil itself and the minimum distances to be adhered to adjacent circuit components, in particular in order to keep electromagnetic interactions low and thus to avoid interference.
- Corresponding supply lines or connecting lines between the coil and the further circuit component arranged in the inner region can furthermore be designed to be particularly short, so that parasitic effects normally caused by supply lines, such as ohmic losses or capacitive effects, are reduced.
- the further circuit component has one or more passive components, in particular capacitive components.
- the inventive arrangement of capacitive components in the interior of the coil advantageously allows the construction of monolithically integrated LC combinations, as they are often required in resonant circuits, filters and other circuits.
- the total space requirement of the LC combinations according to the invention is clear less than the conventional circuit arrangements in which the capacitive components are not arranged in the inner region of the coil but outside the coil.
- further advantages such as improved quality due to lower ohmic losses and increased accuracy with regard to a resonant frequency due to lower parasitic capacitances in the supply lines result.
- the capacitive components are particularly advantageously designed as a configurable capacitor matrix (CDAC) in which a plurality of individual capacitors can be connected to one another in different ways and thus enable the setting of different resulting replacement capacitances.
