Biorthogonal windings on transformer and common mode choke for network port

摘要

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a plurality of transformers and a plurality of common mode chokes, each of the transformers and the common mode chokes comprising a magnetic core and windings wound around the magnetic core at generally opposite sides thereof. The transformers and common mode chokes are arranged in an array with the windings on each of the magnetic cores positioned generally orthogonal to the windings of adjacent magnetic cores in the array to reduce crosstalk and improve common mode noise rejection.
