Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an inductive device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is an enlarged schematic diagram illustrating a portion of a circuit 170 of the inductive device shown in fig. 1 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to fig. 1 and 2 together, in one implementation aspect, the inductive device 100 includes at least two coils (e.g., coils 130 and 140) and at least two switches (e.g., switches SW1 and SW 2). At least two coils (e.g., coils 130, 140) each include an opening (e.g., openings 131, 141) and correspond to each other (e.g., openings 131, 141 are disposed on the upper side of the inductive device 100 and are adjacent to each other). One of the at least two switches (e.g., switch SW1) is coupled to two ends of the opening of one of the at least two coils (e.g., two ends 132, 133 of the opening 131 of the coil 130), and the other of the at least two switches (e.g., switch SW2) is alternately coupled to one end of the opening of one of the at least two coils (e.g., one end 132 of the opening 131 of the coil 130) and one end of the opening of the other of the at least two coils (e.g., one end 143 of the opening 141 of the coil 140).
In some embodiments, at least two coils may be coils of different layers. In some embodiments, one of the at least two coils may correspond up and down with another of the at least two coils.
If one of the at least two switches (e.g., switch SW1) is turned on, one of the at least two coils (e.g., coil 130) forms an inductor; if the other of the at least two switches (e.g., switch SW2) is turned on, then at least two of the coils (e.g., coils 130, 140), and even all of the coils (e.g., coils 110-160) in FIG. 1, together form an inductor.
In one embodiment, the other end (e.g., the other end 133 of the opening 131) of one of the at least two coils (e.g., the coil 130) is coupled to one end (e.g., the other end 142 of the opening 141) of the other of the at least two coils (e.g., the coil 140).
In another aspect, inductive device 100 includes coils 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, switch SW1, and switch SW 2. The coils 110 to 160 include openings 111, 121, 131, 141, 151, and 161, respectively. In one embodiment, the switches SW1 and SW2 can be implemented by, but not limited to, Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs), Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect transistors (MOSFETs), and the like. In one embodiment, when one of the switches SW1 and SW2 is implemented by a transistor, the transistor receives a control voltage (e.g., a control voltage received by a gate or a base), wherein the control voltage is used to control the equivalent resistance of the switches SW1 and SW2 when turned on, so as to adjust the current flowing through the inductor 100, thereby enabling the inductor 100 to have different inductance values.
In the structural configuration, the switch SW1 is coupled to the two ends 132 and 133 of the opening 131 of the coil 130, and the switch SW2 is coupled to one end 132 of the opening 131 of the coil 130 and one end 143 of the opening 141 of the coil 140 in an interleaved manner. In detail, the opening 131 includes an open end 132 and an open end 133, and the opening 141 includes an open end 142 and an open end 143.

On the other hand, when the switch SW2 is turned on, the coils 110 to 160 form an inductor, for example, when the switch SW2 is turned on, the end 132 of the opening 131 of the coil 130 is connected to the end 143 of the opening 141 of the coil 140, and the coils 110 to 160 form an inductor.
In one embodiment, the inductive device 100 further includes an input terminal 180. The input terminal 180 is disposed on a first side (e.g., a lower side) of the inductor 100 based on a center point 190 of the inductor 100, and the openings 111-161 are disposed on a second side (e.g., an upper side) of the inductor 100 opposite to the first side.

The openings 125 of the coil 120 are cross-coupled with the openings 135 of the coil 130, and the openings 145 of the coil 140 are cross-coupled with the openings 155 of the coil 150.
When the switch SW1 is turned on, the two ends 132 and 133 of the opening 131 of the coil 130 are connected via the switch SW1, and the structure of the inductor is as follows: "enter the coil 110 from the left end of the input terminal 180 and wind the coil 120 alternately to the second side (top side in the figure) of the inductive device 100, then wind the first side (bottom side in the figure) of the inductive device 100 alternately to the coil 130, and then wind the second side of the inductive device 100, so that one end 132 of the opening 131 of the coil 130 is coupled to the other end 133 thereof through the switch SW 1.

In addition, the other end 562 of the opening 561 of the coil 560 is coupled to the other end (at the connection point 503) of the opening 535 of the coil 530. Furthermore, the opening 565 of the coil 560 is disposed on a first side (lower side in the figure) of the inductive device 500, one end 566 of the opening 565 of the coil 560 is coupled to one end 544 of the opening 541 of the coil 540, and the other end 567 of the opening 565 of the coil 560 is coupled to the other end (at the connection point 506) of the opening of the coil 530.
Referring to fig. 8, the inductive device 500 includes a switch SW2, a switch SW2 coupled to a terminal 543 of the opening 541 of the coil 540 and a terminal 544 of the opening of the coil 560. Referring to fig. 5 to 8, when the switch SW2 is turned on, the terminal 543 of the opening 541 of the coil 540 is connected to the terminal 544 of the opening of the coil 560 through the switch SW2, and at this time, the inductor extends from the coils 510 to 540 of the first layer to the coils 550 to 560 of the second layer through the switch SW2, so that the coils 510 to 560 form an inductor together.
Fig. 9 is a graph illustrating experimental data of an inductive device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The experimental data plot illustrates the quality factor (Q) and inductance of the inductive device at different frequencies. As shown in the figure, the curve C1 is a quality factor curve of the conductive state of the switch SW1 of the inductor apparatus, and the curve C2 is a corresponding inductance curve of the conductive state of the switch SW 1. From the experimental data of fig. 9, it can be seen that the quality factor of the inductive device in the on state of the switch SW1 can reach about 11. In addition, the curve C3 is a quality factor curve of the conduction of the switch SW2 of the inductor apparatus, and the curve C4 is a corresponding inductance curve of the conduction state of the switch SW 2. From the experimental data of fig. 9, it can be seen that the quality factor of the inductive device in the on state of the switch SW2 can reach about 14. In addition, as can be seen from fig. 9, the inductance values of the inductive devices in the on state of the switch SW1 and the on state of the switch SW2 are different, and the inductive devices are suitable for systems/devices that need to switch between different frequency bands (e.g. between 2.4GHz and 5 GHz).
Therefore, the inductance value of the inductance device is changed, so that the inductance device is suitable for systems/devices which need to be switched among different frequency bands, and the application range of the inductance device is widened. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned values, and those skilled in the art can adjust the above-mentioned values according to actual requirements to achieve the best performance.
Although specific embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, it should be understood that they have the ordinary skill in the art and various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and therefore the scope of the present disclosure should be determined by the appended claims.
