Abstract: A coil component includes spiral conductor patterns S1 and S2 and insulating resin layers that cover the spiral conductor patterns S1 and S2, respectively. An outermost turn of the spiral conductor pattern S1 has a widened part. As a result, an outer wall surface part constituting the outer wall surface of the outermost turn in the radial direction and an outer wall surface part constituting the outer wall surface of the outermost turn of the spiral conductor pattern S2 in the radial direction differ in radial position from each other. Overlap of the insulating resin layers in the lamination direction is reduced to suppress thermal expansion or contraction of the insulating resin layers in the lamination direction at the overlap. This can relieve a stress applied to the interface between the spiral conductor pattern and the insulating resin layer.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for determining an amount of skew between two clock signals. In an embodiment, detector circuitry receives a first signal and a signal which indicate (respectively) a NAND combination of clock signals, and a NOR combination of the clock signals. The detector circuitry evaluates a first length of time that the first signal indicates a respective first logic state, and a second length of time that the second signal indicates a respective second logic state.
