    Abstract: A bias structure includes a reference voltage node connected to gate structures of a first NMOS transistor and a second NMOS transistor, a bias voltage node comprising a bias voltage, and a first op amp having a first input connected to the reference voltage, a second input connected to a drain of the first NMOS transistor, and an output connected to gate structures of a first PMOS transistor and a second PMOS transistor. The bias structure further includes a second op amp having a first input connected to the reference voltage, a second input connected to a drain of the second NMOS transistor, and an output connected to a gate structure of a third NMOS transistor and the bias voltage node. The first NMOS transistor matches a transistor of a differential pair of an integrated circuit device.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a low noise T-coil design. In accordance with one aspect, an input/output (I/O) circuit includes a first T-coil, wherein the first T-coil includes a first set of two inductors connected to each other in series arranged to accommodate a first current flow to produce a first magnetic field with a first perpendicular direction; and a second T-coil, wherein the second T-coil includes a second set of two inductors connected to each other in series arranged to accommodate a second current flow to produce a second magnetic field with a second perpendicular direction; and wherein the second magnetic field cancels the first magnetic field.
