A semiconductor arrangement is provided. The semiconductor arrangement includes a first dielectric layer surrounding a first transmission line and a magnetic layer surrounding the first dielectric layer. The magnetic layer increases the inductance of the transmission line. The semiconductor arrangement having the magnetic layer surrounding the first transmission line has increased impedance, which promotes current flow through the transmission line, without having increased resistance as compared to a semiconductor arrangement that does not have a magnetic layer. Increased resistance requires increased power, which results in a shorter semiconductor arrangement life span than the semiconductor arrangement without the increased resistance.

One or more techniques or systems for locking a phase locked loop (PLL) are provided herein. In some embodiments, a multi-phase time-to-digital converter (TDC) includes a first phase finder, a phase predictor, a second phase finder, and a phase switch. For example, the first phase finder is configured to generate a first fractional phase signal based on a multi-phase variable clock (CKV) signal. For example, the phase predictor is configured to generate a phase select (QSEL) signal or a multi-phase CKV select (CKVSEL) signal based on a frequency command word (FCW) signal or the multi-phase CKV signal. For example, the second phase finder is configured to generate a second fractional phase signal based on the CKVSEL signal or the QSEL signal. For example, the phase switch is configured to select the first or second fractional phase signal based on a phase error (PHE) signal.

One or more systems and techniques for limiting a voltage potential between an antenna and a radio-frequency switch circuit are provided. A voltage controller comprises a voltage generator, a voltage detection circuit and a switch cell. The voltage detection circuit is coupled to the voltage generator and to the switch cell, and the switch cell is coupled to a voltage source, and to a node between the radio-frequency switch circuit and the antenna. When the voltage potential exceeds a specified threshold, the voltage generator produces a voltage which the voltage detection circuit measures such that the voltage detection circuit activates the switch cell, resulting in a short circuit between the radio-frequency switch circuit and the voltage source. This serves to inhibit the voltage potential from exceeding the specified threshold, for example.

Among other things, a method of fabricating an integrated electronic device package is described. First trace portions of an electrically conductive trace are formed on an electrically insulating layer of a package structure, and vias of the conductive trace are formed in a sacrificial layer disposed on the electrically insulating layer. The sacrificial layer is removed, and a die is placed above the electrically insulating layer. Molding material is formed around exposed surfaces of the die and exposed surfaces of the vias, and a magnetic structure is formed within the layer of molding material. Second trace portions of the electrically conductive trace are formed above the molding material and the magnetic structure. The electrically conductive trace and the magnetic structure form an inductor. The electrically conductive trace may have a coil shape surrounding the magnetic structure. The die may be positioned between portions of the inductor.
