BIORTHOGONAL WINDINGS ON TRANSFORMER AND COMMON MODE CHOKE FOR NETWORK PORT

摘要

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an array of transformers and common mode chokes each comprising a magnetic core and windings wound around the magnetic core at opposing locations on the magnetic core, and a retaining groove on each of the magnetic cores to maintain the windings in their opposing locations on the magnetic core. The transformers and common mode chokes are positioned in the array with the windings on each of the magnetic cores located offset to the windings of adjacent magnetic cores in the array to reduce crosstalk and improve common mode noise rejection.
