    摘要: An integrated circuit package includes an inductance loop formed from a connection of lead wires and one or more input/output (I/O) package pins. In one embodiment, the inductance loop is formed from a first wire which connects a first bonding pad on the integrated circuit chip to a first I/O pin of the package and a second wire which connects a second bonding pad on the chip to a second I/O pin of the package. To complete the inductor loop, the first and second I/O pins are connected by a conductive bridge between the pins. The bridge may be formed by making the I/O pins have a unitary construction. In another embodiment, the bridge is formed by a metallization layer located either on the surface of the package substrate or within this substrate. The I/O pins are preferably ones which are adjacent one another; however, the loop may be formed from non-adjacent connections of I/O pins based, for example, on loop-length requirements, space considerations, and/or other design or functional factors. By forming the inductor loop within the limits of the integrated circuit package, a substantial reduction in space requirements is realized, which, in turn, promotes miniaturization. Also, the integrated circuit may be implemented in any one of a variety of systems, at least one parameter of which is controlled by the length of the inductor loop of the package.

    摘要: A system and method for filtering signals in a communications system reduces hardware and chip size requirements by selectively connecting a filter along transmitter and receiver paths of a transceiver. In operation, a controller generated signals for connecting the filter along the transmitter path when the transceiver is in transmitter mode and for connecting the filter along the receiver path when the transmitter is in receiver mode. The controller then generates additional signals for setting one or more parameters of the filter based on the path connected, or put differently based on the operational mode of the transceiver. In a variation, the controller sets the parameters of additional elements coupled to the filter as a way of further controlling processing of the transmitter and receiver signals. The system and method are particularly well suited to controlling the filtering of signals at the front-end of the transceiver having a direct-conversion architecture and in general ones performing time-multiplexing applications.
