Abstract: In one embodiment, a device includes a first IC having a differential signal driver and a first isolation circuit configured to provide differential signals transmitted by the differential signal driver to a first pair of bond pads of the first IC. First and second bond wires are configured to provide differential signals from the first pair of bond pads to a second pair of bond pad included in a second IC. The second IC includes a second isolation circuit configured to provide differential signals from the second pair of bond pads to a differential receiver circuit of the second IC. The bond wires are specifically arranged such that a distance between the first and second bond wires varies by at least 10% as measured at two points along a length of the first bond wire.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to force sensors. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus includes a force-responsive component having a resonant frequency, and a circuit that compensates for variations with the force-responsive component. The force-responsive component moves in response to an applied force, in accordance with a spring constant that is susceptible to fluctuation. The compensation circuit determines Brownian motion of the force-responsive component at the resonant frequency based on temperature, and generates an output based on the determined Brownian motion and movement of the force-responsive component. Such an output is indicative of force applied to the apparatus.
