    Abstract: A bus microcontroller includes a processor circuit having at least one unit designed for performing one or more functions due to a bus command via a communication bus, a power control circuit adapted to be coupled to a transmitter-receiver circuit for receiving bus messages via the communication bus, and a means for placing at least part of the processor circuit into a reduced-power operating mode without placing the entire processor circuit into the reduced-power operating mode. The power control circuit is designed to evaluate incoming bus messages with respect to an activation bus message containing information on activating at least part of the processor circuit, and to output a corresponding activation control signal. The bus microcontroller also includes means for activating at least a part of the processor circuit that is placed in a reduced-power operating mode, in response to output of an activation control signal of the power control circuit.

    Abstract: A method and an active battery balancing circuit for balancing an electric charge in a plurality of cells of a battery that are electrically connected in series is disclosed. A first subset of the cells of the battery is electrically connected to an inductance for providing a current flow from the first subset through the inductance. The first subset of the cells is disconnected from the inductance, and a current is allowed to flow from the inductance into a second subset of the cells of the battery. At least one of the first and the second subset of the cells of the battery comprises two or more cells.

    Abstract: In an embodiment a microcontroller includes a processing unit and a deserial-serial peripheral interface (DSPI) module, wherein the deserial-serial peripheral interface module is coupleable to a communication bus configured to operate according to a selected communication protocol, wherein the processing unit is configured to read user data intended for inclusion in an outgoing frame encoded according to the selected communication protocol, calculate, as a function of the user data, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value intended for inclusion in the outgoing frame, compose the outgoing frame by including the user data and the calculated CRC value into the outgoing frame, produce a DSPI frame encoded according to the selected communication protocol as a function of the outgoing frame and program a data register of the deserial-serial peripheral interface module with the DSPI frame, and wherein the deserial-serial peripheral interface module is configured to transmit the DSPI frame via the communication bus.

    Abstract: A set of configuration memory locations store configuration data for a microcontroller unit. A hardware monitoring module is coupled by an interconnection bus to the configuration memory locations. The hardware monitoring module reads from an instruction memory a command including an address of a target memory location in the set of configuration memory locations. Data is read from the target memory location corresponding to the address read and a checksum value is computed as a function of the data that is read from the target memory location. The computed checksum value is then compared to a respective expected checksum value stored in a checksum storage unit. An alarm signal is triggered in response to a mismatch detected between the computed checksum value and the respective expected checksum value.
