Abstract:
1. A common mode choke coil used in a differential transmission circuit, the differential transmission circuit comprising: a first transmission line for transmitting a first signal; a second transmission line for transmitting a second signal having the reverse phase of the first signal; the common mode choke coil connected in series with each of the first transmission line and the second transmission line; a third transmission line for transmitting the first signal output from the common mode choke coil, and connected in series with the common mode choke coil; a fourth transmission line for transmitting the second signal output from the common mode choke coil, and connected in series with the common mode choke coil; a semiconductor device for receiving and transmitting the first signal and the second signal, and connected in series with the third transmission line and the fourth transmission line; a first terminator, one end of which is connected in parallel with the first transmission line or the third transmission line, and the other end of which is connected to a stable electric potential via the common mode choke coil; and a second terminator, one end of which is connected in parallel with the second transmission line or the fourth transmission line, and the other end of which is connected to the stable electric potential via the common mode choke coil, the common mode choke coil comprising: a magnetic body; and three leads wound on the magnetic body, wherein two leads among the three leads are wound on a surface of the magnetic body forming a first layer, and the remaining lead among the three leads is wound on top of the two leads forming the first layer so as to form a second layer, wherein the two leads transmit the first signal and the second signal having mutually reverse phases, and the remaining lead forming the second layer is connected to the stable electric potential, and wherein the center of a cross section of the remaining lead forming the second layer is everywhere equidistant from the centers of a cross section of the two leads forming the first layer.
