    Abstract: A system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor executes an instruction set having a word size. The processor includes arithmetic processing circuitry, which, in operation, executes arithmetic operations on operands having the word size. The arithmetic processing circuitry includes an arithmetic logic circuit (ALU) having an operand size smaller than the word size of the instruction set. The ALU, in operation, generates partial results of the arithmetic operations. A multiplexing network coupled to inputs of the ALU provides portions of the operands to the ALU. A shift register having the word size of the instruction set accumulates partial results generated by the ALU over a plurality of clock cycles and outputs results of the arithmetic operations based on the accumulated partial results.

    Abstract: The present description concerns a device comprising a bus, peripherals coupled to the bus, the peripherals comprising a first circuit, processors coupled to the bus and initiating accesses to the peripherals, each comprising an address phase followed by a data phase, and for each processor, a second circuit delivering an identifier of the processor over the bus during the address phase of each access initiated by the processor. For each read access to the first circuit initiated by one of the processors, the first circuit stores the identifier present over the bus during the address phase of the access, and then delivers the identifier stored over the bus during the data phase of the access.

    Abstract: Articles carried by a carrier are processed in a sequence of processing steps that includes a plating step where a base layer of plating material is plated on a surface of the carrier. The plating material plated on the surface of the carrier is selectively stripped to partially remove the plating material to reduce e thickness of the base layer of plating material plated present on the surface of the carrier. A residual protective layer of plating material having the reduced thickness is left on the surface of the carrier.

    Abstract: A microelectromechanical device includes: a supporting body, containing semiconductor material; a movable mass, constrained to the supporting body with a relative degree of freedom with respect to a first motion direction perpendicular to the supporting body; and at least one stopping structure, configured to limit out-of-plane movements of the movable mass along the first motion direction. The stopping structure includes: first elements, extending parallel to the first motion direction and anchoring the stopping structure to the supporting body; and a second element, extending transversally to the first elements, surmounting and connecting the first elements.

    Abstract: A power-management system includes a power transistor coupled between a power supply and load, a driver circuit driving the power transistor in response to an input signal, and an error amplifier generating a control signal that modifies operation of the driver circuit based on a comparison between a selected reference voltage and a drain-to-source voltage of the power transistor. A multiplexer provides the selected reference voltage to the error amplifier and passes one of a plurality of different reference voltages as the selected reference voltage based upon first and second selection signals. A first selection circuit charges a first capacitor in response to the input signal and generates the first selection signal based on a first voltage across the first capacitor. A second selection circuit charges a second capacitor in response to the input signal and generates the second selection signal based on a second voltage across the second capacitor.

    Abstract: A bridge rectifier circuit and a wireless power receiver configured to receive high voltage AC inputs and generate a stable DC voltage without exposing the bridge rectifier circuitry components to damaging high voltages are provided. The example bridge rectifier includes a plurality of rectifying transistors positioned to generate a DC voltage upon receiving an AC current. The example bridge rectifier circuitry further includes voltage control circuitry designed to output an intermediate voltage to a terminal of one or all of the rectifying transistors of the bridge rectifier. The output intermediate voltage prevents a voltage difference across the terminal of the rectifying transistor from exceeding a maximum voltage rating of the rectifying transistor.
