DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(13) Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings which may allow one of ordinary skill in the art to easily perform the present invention. The present invention may be implemented in various forms and is not limited to the following embodiments. Components not related to the description are omitted in the drawings to clearly describe the present invention, and the same reference symbols are used for the same or similar components in the description.
(14) A filter for both a differential mode and a common mode 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of sheet layers 101, ground electrodes 103a and 103b, input electrodes 104a and 104b, output electrodes 105a and 105b, an inductor part 110, and a capacitor part 120.
(15) As shown in
(16) As shown in
(17) As shown in
(18) The input electrodes 104a and 104b are disposed on one side of each of the plurality of sheet layers 101 and form a pair. A pair of differential signals may be input to the input electrodes 104a and 104b.
(19) The output electrodes 105a and 105b are disposed to face the input electrodes 104a and 104b at each of the plurality of sheet layers 101 and form a pair. A pair of filtered signals may be output to the output electrodes 105a and 105b.
(20) As described above and as shown in
(21) Here, the input electrodes 104a and 104b and the output electrodes 105a and 105b are just named for convenience of the description and may be reversely used for functions thereof. That is, signals may be input to the output electrodes 105a and 105b, and signals of which noises are removed may be output to the input electrodes 104a and 104b.
(22) The inductor part 110 includes a plurality of sheets 101-1 to 101-10 which are stacked, and each of the sheets includes a pair of coil patterns 111 to 114 and 111 to 114, withdrawal patterns 115 and 116, and through holes 111a to 114a, 111a to 114a, and 116a. Here, the pair of coil patterns 111 to 114 and 111 to 114 are connected through the through holes 111a to 114a, 111a to 114a, and 116a of the sheets and forma pair of inductors. The inductor part 110 may be disposed on the capacitor part 120.
(23) In this case, the pair of coil patterns 111 to 114 and 111 to 114 may be wound in different directions. That is, the coil patterns 111 to 114 and 111 to 114 of the first low pass filter 102a, and the coil patterns 111 to 114 and 111 to 114 of the second low pass filter 102b may be wound in the different directions. For example, the coil patterns 111 to 114 and 111 to 114 of the first low pass filter 102a may be wound in a clockwise direction, and the coil patterns 111 to 114 and 111 to 114 of the second low pass filter 102b may be wound in a counterclockwise direction.
(24) As described above, since the pair of coil patterns 111 to 114 and 111 to 114 are disposed in the different directions and thus a phase of current occurs which has a difference of 180, directions of magnetic fields generated by the coil patterns become opposite each other. Accordingly, since electromagnetic interference (EMI) noises radiated from the coil patterns are offset, radiation to the outside may be blocked.
(25) Further, the withdrawal pattern 115 is provided to connect the inductor and the input electrodes 104a and 104b, and the withdrawal pattern 115 may be provided at the lowest sheet 101-10 in the inductor part 110. In addition, the withdrawal pattern 116 is provided to connect the inductor and the output electrodes 105a and 105b, and the withdrawal pattern 116 may be provided at the highest sheet 101-10 in the inductor part 110.
(26) Here, the number of sheets forming the inductor part 110 is not limited to a particular number and may be determined according to capacity of the inductor formed by the coil patterns. Further, each of the coil patterns provided in the sheets is not limited to the shape shown in
(27) The capacitor part 120 includes a plurality of sheets 101-11 to 101-17 which are stacked, and each of the sheets includes at least one of capacitor electrodes 121, 121, 122, 124, 124, and 125. The capacitor part 120 may be disposed to be stacked under the inductor part 110.
(28) The capacitor part 120 includes first capacitor electrodes 121, 121, and 122, second capacitor electrodes 124 and 124, and third capacitor electrodes 125 and 125.
(29) The first capacitor electrodes 121, 121, and 122 are connected to the pair of ground electrodes 103a and 103b. Here, the first capacitor electrode 121 may be provided on the sheet 101-11, the first capacitor electrode 122 may be provided on the sheet 101-14, and the first capacitor electrode 121 may be provided on the sheet 101-17.
(30) In this case, the first capacitor electrodes 121, 121, and 122 are connected to the ground electrodes 103a and 103b and serves as a ground, and thus may have widths greater than those of each of the second capacitor electrodes 124 and 124 and the third capacitor electrodes 125 and 125.
(31) The second capacitor electrodes 124 and 124 each form a pair, are disposed to face the first capacitor electrodes 121 and 121, and are connected to the pair of input electrodes 104a and 104b, respectively. That is, the second capacitor electrode 124 may be provided in pairs on the sheet 101-12 disposed under the sheet 101-11, and the second capacitor electrode 124 may be provided in pairs on the sheet 101-16 disposed on the sheet 101-17.
(32) The third capacitor electrodes 125 and 125 each form a pair, are disposed to face the first capacitor electrode 122, and are connected to the pair of output electrodes 105a and 105b, respectively. That is, the third capacitor electrode 125 may be provided in pairs on the sheet 101-13 disposed on the sheet 101-14, and the third capacitor electrode 125 may be provided in pairs on the sheet 101-15 disposed under the sheet 101-14.
(33) Here, although the first capacitor electrodes 121, 121, and 123 are shown and described as three electrodes, and the second capacitor electrodes 124 and 124, and the third capacitor electrodes 125 and 125 are shown and described to include two pairs, but are not limited thereto, the number of capacitor electrodes may be determined according to capacity of the capacitor formed by the capacitor electrodes. For example, the sheets 101-15 to 101-17 in
(34) In this case, in the capacitor part 120, the second capacitor electrodes 124 or 124 and the third capacitor electrodes 125 or 125 may be disposed between the two first capacitor electrodes 121 and 122 or 121 and 122.
(35) Accordingly, the one first capacitor electrode 121 and the pair of second capacitor electrodes 124 facing the one first capacitor electrode 121 may form a capacitor C.sub.P2 connected to one sides of the pair of inductors in parallel, and the other first capacitor electrode 122 and the pair of third capacitor electrodes 125 facing the other first capacitor electrode 122 may form a capacitor C.sub.P1 connected to the other sides of the pair of inductors in parallel.
(36) Like the above, the one first capacitor electrode 121 and the pair of second capacitor electrodes 124 facing the one first capacitor electrode 121 may form a capacitor C.sub.P1 connected to one sides of the pair of inductors in parallel, and the other first capacitor electrode 122 and the pair of third capacitor electrodes 125 facing the other first capacitor electrode 122 may form a capacitor C.sub.P2 connected to the other sides of the pair of inductors in parallel.
(37) In this case, the pair of second capacitor electrodes 124 or 124 and the pair of third capacitor electrodes 125 or 125 are disposed to face each other, and accordingly, a pair of series capacitors C.sub.S may be formed between the pair of input electrodes 104a and 104b and the pair of output electrodes 105a and 105b.
(38) As shown in
(39) The inductor L includes the plurality of coil patterns 111 to 114 and 111 to 114, and is disposed between the input electrode 104a or 104b and the output electrode 105a or 105b in series.
(40) The parallel capacitor C.sub.P1 may be disposed between a connection point between the inductor L and the input electrode 104a or 104b, and the ground electrode 103a or 103b in parallel, and the parallel capacitor C.sub.P2 may be disposed between a connection point between the inductor L and the output electrode 105a or 105b, and the ground electrode 103a or 103b in parallel.
(41) As described above, a -shaped low pass filter may be formed by the inductor L and the two parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2.
(42) The series capacitor C.sub.S is disposed between the input electrode 104a or 104b and the output electrode 105a or 105b in series to be disposed in parallel with the inductor L.
(43) Meanwhile, when designing the -shaped low pass filters 102a and 102b, a fact that ripple ingredients are generated from a pass band when the inductor L has a lower impedance than that of the one parallel capacitor C.sub.P1 or C.sub.P2 was known through a simulation.
(44) Accordingly, since the filter for both a differential mode and a common mode 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the series capacitors C.sub.S in parallel with the inductor L to compensate the impedance of the inductor L, the ripple ingredients may be removed.
(45) That is, a frequency characteristic for the differential signal may achieve a sharp inclination characteristic due to the series capacitors C.sub.S like the above. More specifically, although the pass band generally has more ripple ingredients when a cutoff characteristic of filter has a sharper inclination, like the embodiment of the present invention, since the series capacitors C.sub.S are provided between the input electrodes 104a and 104b and the output electrodes 105a and 105b, the ripple ingredients in the pass band mat may be removed even when having the sharp inclination characteristic.
(46) As shown in
(47) However, in the filter for both a differential mode and a common mode 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, not only insertion losses are similar in both the differential mode and the common mode but also the cutoff inclination characteristics are improved, and the flat responses are secured in the pass band with almost no ripple ingredient.
(48) Further, in the differential mode in which most high speed digital signals are operated, since the signals become fast, and thus a noise frequency area which has to be removed and a signal area which has to pass through are close to each other, an exquisite blocking characteristic of the filter (generally referred to as a skirt characteristic) is being required.
(49) In order to satisfy the characteristics, a fact that a relationship according to the capacities of the series inductors, the parallel capacitors and the series inductors forming the -shaped low pass filters 102a and 102b has to be properly formed was learned through the simulation.
(50) Here, as shown in
(51) However, when capacitance of the series capacitor C.sub.S is much smaller than capacitance of the parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2, and particularly, when capacitance C.sub.S of the series capacitor C.sub.S is smaller than half of capacitance CPC of the parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2, as shown in
(52) Further, as shown in
(53) However, when the capacitance of the series capacitor C.sub.S is much greater than the capacitance of the parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2, and particularly, when the capacitance C.sub.S of the series capacitor C.sub.S is greater than two times of the capacitance C.sub.PC of the parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2, as shown in
(54) Accordingly, the series capacitor C.sub.S and the parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2 preferably satisfy a formula below so that the -shaped low pass filter achieves both the blocking characteristic and the attenuation characteristic in the differential mode.
Cpc<Csc<2Cpc
(55) Here, Cpc is capacitance of each of the two pairs of parallel capacitors, and Csc is capacitance of each of the pair of series capacitors.
(56) Further, as shown in
(57) However, when impedance of the series inductor L is smaller than impedance of the parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2, as shown in
(58) Accordingly, the impedance of the series inductor L is preferably greater than or equal to the impedance of each of the parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2 so that the -shaped low pass filter achieves the flat response in the differential mode.
(59) Further, in a high speed differential circuit, since a direction of input and output signals may be changed, the two parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2 connected to one inductor L preferably have the same value for designing a filter having a symmetrical structure. That is, the parallel capacitors C.sub.P1 and C.sub.P2 may be formed in a symmetrical structure so as to have the same value.
(60) Meanwhile, as shown in
(61) For example, as shown in
(62) In this case, at least parts of the second capacitor electrode 127 and the third capacitor electrode 128 may be disposed to face each other. That is, the first capacitor electrode 126 is provided with a length which is smaller than those of the second capacitor electrode 127 and the third capacitor electrode 128 between the input electrode 104a and the output electrode 105a, and the first capacitor electrode 126 is provided at an approximate center portion between the input electrodes 104a and 104b and the output electrodes 105a and 105b.
(63) Accordingly, since the first capacitor electrode 126 is not interposed between the second capacitor electrode 127 and the third capacitor electrode 128 at both areas of the first capacitor electrode 126, and the second capacitor electrode 127 and the third capacitor electrode 128 are disposed to face each other, the series capacitors C.sub.S may be implemented.
(64) As described above, both the parallel capacitors and the series capacitors may be implemented even with only a small number capacitor electrodes as compared with the capacitor part in
(65) As another example, as shown in
(66) In this case, a first capacitor electrode 126 may be disposed to face the second capacitor electrode 129 and the third capacitor electrode 129. That is, the first capacitor electrode 126 may be disposed under the second capacitor electrode 129 and the third capacitor electrode 129 to face a part of each of the second capacitor electrode 129 and the third capacitor electrode 129.
(67) Accordingly, since the first capacitor electrode 126 and the second capacitor electrode 129 are disposed to face each other, the one parallel capacitor C.sub.P1 is formed, and since the first capacitor electrode 121 and the third capacitor electrode 125 are disposed to face each other, the other one parallel capacitor C.sub.P2 is formed.
(68) Further, the coil pattern of the sheet in the inductor part 110 nearest to the capacitor part 120, that is, a withdrawal pattern 115, may be formed to be elongated to face the third capacitor electrode 125. Accordingly, since the withdrawal pattern 115 is electrically connected to the second capacitor electrode 129, and the withdrawal pattern 115 and the third capacitor electrode 129 are disposed to face each other, the series capacitors C.sub.S are formed.
(69) Here, the first capacitor electrode 126 may be disposed on the first capacitor electrode 129 and the third capacitor electrode 129 when just being disposed opposite the withdrawal pattern 115 on the basis of the second capacitor electrode 129 and the third capacitor electrode 129 is sufficient.
(70) As described above, both the parallel capacitors and the series capacitors may be implemented even with only a small number of sheets which are stacked as compared with the capacitor parts in
(71) Further, as shown in
(72) For example, as shown in
(73) As another example, as shown in
(74) As still another example, as shown in
(75) Although one embodiment of the present invention is described above, the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the description, and although those skilled in the art may provide other embodiments due to addition, change, or removal of the components within the scope of the same spirit of the present invention, such embodiments and the above embodiments are also included in the scope of the spirit of the present invention.
