Patent ID: 6850144

Claim:
A package comprising: a substrate having a plurality of traces in one area on a surface of the substrate, each of the plurality of traces having first and second ends, the first ends of the plurality of traces located at a first side of the area of the substrate and second ends of the plurality of traces located at a second side of the area opposite the first side; a plurality of wires coupling the plurality of traces to form a coil to electrically isolate at least two circuit components, the coil being formed by having each of the plurality of wires coupling a first end of one trace of the plurality of traces to a second end of another of the plurality of traces located adjacent to the one trace, the coil formed having a first end and a second end; a resistor, on the surface of the substrate, coupled to the first end of the coil; and a transmission line coupled to the second end of the coil, wherein the coil electrically isolates the resistor from the transmission line.
