Abstract: In one embodiment, a system on chip includes a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) power supply, a secure environment, a non-secure environment, and a power supply management control module. The secure environment is configured to generate a secure instruction defining a permitted operating point of voltage and frequency for the DVFS power supply. The non-secure environment is configured to generate a request to modify the DVFS power supply, where the request to modify includes a voltage-frequency operating point. The power supply management control module is configured to scale the DVFS power supply to the permitted operating point, in response to the request to modify the DVFS power supply.

Abstract: A system includes a processing unit, a memory configured to store at least one first group of instructions and one second group of instructions for execution by the processing unit, the processing unit being configured to sequentially extract from the memory instructions of the first group and instructions of the second group for their execution. The system also includes a controller including a first auxiliary memory configured to store a protection criterion, a comparator configured to compare the storage address of each extracted instruction with the protection criterion, and a control circuit configured to, in response to the storage address meeting the protection criterion, trigger a protection mechanism including at least one prohibition for the processing unit to execute again at least one portion of the instructions of the first group, during the execution of the instructions of the second group.

Abstract: An embodiment DC to DC conversion circuit comprises a DC to DC converter and a regulation circuit. The regulation circuit comprises a comparator configured to detect, during a discharge phase of the DC to DC converter, an overshoot period during which an output voltage of the DC to DC converter exceeds a target voltage, and a timer configured to measure a duration of the overshoot period.

Abstract: A method for limiting an input or output current of a DC-DC converter and a current limiting circuit are disclosed. In an embodiment a method for limiting an input or output current of a DC to DC converter includes storing a first value representative of a level of an output voltage of the DC to DC converter in response to the input or output current exceeding or falling below a first threshold and modifying a control signal based on the first value.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an activity of a connected object including a monitoring device, includes: performing, by a measurement stage of the monitoring device, a first periodic measurement of an internal signal representative of an activity of the connected object; performing, by a computation stage of the monitoring device, a first non-cryptographic computation of an activity parameter representative of the activity from the internal signal measured during the first periodic measurement; comparing, by a comparison stage of the monitoring device, between the activity parameter on completion of the first non-cryptographic computation and a range of settings of corresponding to the activity parameter; and triggering, by a control stage of the monitoring device, a safety action in response to a determination that the activity parameter is outside of the range of settings.

Abstract: An embodiment method for controlling a physical object to be shared by several potential users and in an enclosure in an open state or in a closed state includes detecting a presence or an absence of the object in the enclosure in the closed state via a first wireless link between the object and a reader situated in the enclosure, the first wireless link being contained in the enclosure in the closed state. The method also includes transmitting a first information item representative of the presence or of the absence of the object in the enclosure to a computer server via a second link and an internet network, the computer server being accessible via a website configured to be managed by an administrator.
