摘要： An amplifier includes an input node, an output node, a transistor and a transformer. The input node is configured to receive a first signal. The output node is configured to output an amplified first signal. The transistor includes a first terminal, a second terminal and a third terminal. The first terminal is coupled to the input node and a first supply voltage source. The second terminal is coupled to a second supply voltage source and the output node. The third terminal is coupled to a reference node. The transformer is coupled to the first terminal and the third terminal. The transistor is configured to operate in a sub-threshold region and a near-triode region.

摘要： An integrated circuit comprises an inductor over a substrate and a guard ring surrounding the inductor. The guard ring comprises a plurality of first metal lines extending in a first direction and a plurality of second metal lines extending in a second direction. The second metal lines of the plurality of second metal lines are each coupled with at least one first metal line of the plurality of first metal lines. The guard ring also comprises a staggered line comprising a connected subset of at least one first metal line of the plurality of first metal lines and at least one second metal line of the plurality of second metal lines. The first metal lines of the plurality of first metal lines outside of the connected subset, the second metal lines of the plurality of second metal lines outside of the connected subset, and the staggered line surround the inductor.
