ABSTRACT:
A mixed-signal chip having a signal transformer located between analog circuitry and digital circuitry. The signal transformer includes a primary winding electrically coupled to the analog circuitry and a secondary winding electrically coupled to the digital circuitry. The primary and secondary windings are magnetically coupled with one another via a magnetic core. The magnetic coupling between the primary and secondary windings inhibits the coupling of electrical noise between the analog and digital circuitries.
