Abstract

A filter for both a differential mode and a common mode is provided. A filter for both a differential mode and a common mode according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a pair of series inductors having a plurality of coil patterns; two pairs of parallel capacitors connected to opposite ends of the pair of inductors, respectively; and a pair of series capacitors connected to the pair of inductors in parallel. Therefore, the filter can be used in both a common mode and a differential mode, and can remove noise without using an additional filter in an application having a comparatively high data processing speed.
