    Abstract: Circuitry comprising: a voltage monitoring path; a current monitoring path; a reference element of a predefined impedance; and processing circuitry, wherein in operation of the circuitry in a calibration mode of operation: the voltage monitoring path is operative to output a signal indicative of a voltage across the reference element in response to a reference signal applied to the reference element; the current monitoring path is operative to output a signal indicative of a current through the reference element in response to the reference signal; and the processing circuitry is operative to: receive the signal indicative of the voltage across the reference element and the signal indicative of the current through the reference element; generate an estimate of an impedance of the reference element; and determine a compensation parameter for an element of the circuitry for compensating for a difference between the estimate of the impedance and the predefined impedance of the reference element.

    Abstract: A system may include an electromagnetic actuator, a first coil configured to drive mechanical displacement of the electromagnetic actuator, a second coil configured to drive mechanical displacement of the electromagnetic actuator, and an inductance sensing subsystem having an inductance sensing path coupled to the first coil and the second coil. The inductance sensing subsystem may be configured to select one of the first coil and the second coil for driving mechanical displacement of the electromagnetic actuator, select the other of the first coil and the second coil as a sensing coil for sensing displacement of the electromagnetic actuator, determine a displacement of the electromagnetic actuator based on a measurement of estimated inductance of the sensing coil, and when switching selection of the sensing coil from the first coil to the second coil determine the displacement of the first coil based on a measured inductance of the first coil at approximately the time of switching selection, estimate state variables of the inductance sensing path to be used with the second coil based on the displacement, and apply the state variables to the inductance sensing path after switching selection of the sensing coil from the first coil to the second coil.
