Claim:
1. A parallel stacked multipath inductor, comprising: a first layer including a plurality of turns disposed about a center region, each turn in the plurality of turns on the first layer having two or more segments that extend length-wise along the turns, the segments having positions that vary from an innermost position within each turn on the first layer relative to the center region to an outermost position within each turn on the first layer relative to the center region; a second layer including a plurality of turns electrically connected to the first layer along its length and disposed about the center region, each turn in the plurality of turns on the second layer having two or more segments that extend length-wise along the turns, the segments having positions that vary from an innermost position within each turn on the second layer relative to the center region to an outermost position within each turn on the second layer relative to the center region; and one or more cross-over architectures configured to couple the segments of each turn on the first layer with the segments of each corresponding turn on the second layer to form segment paths that have a same length for all segment paths per turn between the first and second layers.
