Abstract: A memory circuit with an error correcting system comprising an address bus (102), an input data bus (108), and an output data bus (115), the circuit comprising a memory having an address bus (113), a data bus (114) and an error correcting circuit comprising an encoder (107). A first address register (104) is connected to the input address bus of the circuit for successively storing addresses corresponding to memory write operations only. A second data register (105) is connected to the input data bus of the circuit (108) for storing data transmitted to the encoder (107). Circuits make it possible to introduce a one-cycle shift into the memory writes, without modifying reads, giving the encoder more time to compute error correcting codes.

Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating integrated electronic components. According to the method, an initial structure is produced on the surface of a first substrate. This initial structure incorporates a defined pattern formed from volumes of differentiated materials. At least part of the initial substrate that includes the defined pattern is transferred onto a second substrate, preferably by inverting the first substrate against the second substrate and then removing the first substrate. An additional structure is then produced on the second substrate. This additional structure includes volumes of material placed in correspondence with some of the volumes of differentiated material of the defined pattern. The electronic components thus produced may have a suitable configuration in accordance with technological or geometrical constraints. In a preferred method, a selective treatment is applied to the transferred part of the initial structure, so as to make a distinction between the volumes of differentiated material of the pattern.

Abstract: An input stage for a video receiver includes a variable gain amplifier, an analog-to-digital converter for sampling a video signal and a digital processing unit for processing digital samples of the video signal. An analog regulating circuit sets an input potential at an input of the variable gain amplifier. A differential architecture is used for the variable gain amplifier and the digital analog converter. A conversion circuit between an input coupling capacitor and the variable gain amplifier allows generating the video signal on two channels in antiphase, which are centered on the common mode voltage. Such differential architecture allows reducing the amplitude of analog signals, which is particularly advantageous in the case of a low voltage supply delivering a few volts. In addition, linearity of the video signal processing is enhanced.

Abstract: A photocell having an entry face for the light and a photosensitive element, as well as to a matrix composed of such photocells. A lightguide-forming element placed between the entry face and the photosensitive element of the photocell ensures optical coupling between the latter two components. It makes it possible to place on either side of the photosensitive element electronic components for reading and for controlling the photocell, while reducing the loss of light incident on the entry face corresponding to the rays which would strike these electronic components. This lightguide-forming element is composed of at least three dielectric materials having different respective optical refractive indices and placed within concentric volumes.
