  • Methods and apparatus for in-situ measurement of mutual inductance between embedded interconnects
    Patent number: 12625173
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring mutual inductance between adjacent first communication transmission line and second communication transmission line is disclosed. The system includes a mutual inductance measurement circuit that includes a coupling generator which biases the first communication transmission line with a current ramp signal; a sample and hold circuit which captures an induced voltage on the second communication transmission line using a switched capacitor storage element; a switched capacitor integrator configured to integrate the induced voltage onto an output voltage node; and a comparator configured to switch states once the switched capacitor integration has surpassed a reference trippoint.
    Type: Grant
