Hi guys,
How does the ground plane underneath the inductor in integrated circuit work? What is its function?
In the design manual, it is said that it does not need to be grounded. This is my doubt. Because, if it is not grounded, how does it will conduct the induced current to the ground, and therefore, to mitigatte induced currents on substrate.
(At least, I guess that this is the main function of the ground plane: mitigating induced currents on the substrate).
Thank you very much in advance,
Regards.
