Abstract
An integrated circuit comprising a transceiver including a transformer. The transformer includes an input coupled to one or more primary windings. The transformer also includes a first differential output coupled to a first set of one or more secondary windings. The transformer further includes a second differential output coupled to a second, different set of one or more secondary windings. A method of making an integrated circuit comprising a transceiver. The method includes forming a plurality of components on and/or in a semiconductor substrate. At least one of the components comprises a transformer. The method includes forming the transformer by forming one or more primary windings coupled to an input, forming a first set of one or more secondary windings coupled to a first differential output, and forming a second, different set of one or more secondary windings coupled to a second differential output.
