Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to lift-up gesture detection for electronic devices. An initial lift-up gesture is detected in response to an orientation change and a lift-up motion of the device being detected. The initial lift-up gesture is validated as a true lift-up gesture in a case where a shaking motion of the device is not being detected when the initial lift-up gesture is detected. If a shaking motion of the device is detected when the initial lift-up gesture is detected, the initial lift-up gesture is rejected.

Abstract: At least one transmission of scrambled data with a pseudo-random sequence generated by a scrambling polynomial and an initialization value is performed between a transmitter and a receiver. Prior to the transmission, transmitter and the receiver engage in a secret negotiation phase to specifically determine the scrambling polynomial and the initialization value for the at least one transmission.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a converter includes a bootstrap capacitor, a high-side switch, a low-side switch, an auxiliary switch, and a controller. The bootstrap capacitor has a first terminal coupled to a floating ground node. The high-side switch has a source terminal coupled to the bootstrap capacitor through the floating ground node. The auxiliary switch has a drain terminal coupled to the bootstrap capacitor through the floating ground node. The controller provides a first control signal to a control terminal of the high-side switch, provides a second control signal to a control terminal of the low-side switch, and provides a third control signal to a control terminal of the auxiliary switch. The third control signal is based on a condition associated with the converter after the first control signal and the second control signal deactivate the high-side switch and the low-side switch respectively.

Abstract: A resettable digital stage operates when a supply voltage is higher than a threshold. A non-volatile memory stores a digital code read by a reading stage. A main power-on reset circuit generates a main reset signal controlling reset of the reading stage. A resettable volatile memory coupled to the reading stage stores a default value when reset. An auxiliary power-on reset circuit generates an auxiliary reset signal controlling reset of the volatile memory. Upon deactivation of the reset, the reading stage loads the digital code into the volatile memory. The main power-on reset circuit functions in a non-trimmed configuration response to the stored default value and in a trimmed configuration responsive to the stored digital code. The main power-on reset circuit has first and second operative thresholds which respectively fall within a first and second non-trimmed voltage range or within a first and second trimmed voltage range.

Abstract: Systems and devices are provided to enable granular control over a retention or active state of each of a plurality of memory circuits, such as a plurality of memory cell arrays, within a memory. Each respective memory array of the plurality of memory arrays is coupled to a respective ballast driver and a respective active memory signal switch for the respective memory array. One or more voltage regulators are coupled to a ballast driver gate node and to a bias node of at least one of the respective memory arrays. In operation, the respective active memory signal switch for a respective memory array causes the respective memory array to transition between an active state for the respective memory array and a retention state for the respective memory array.

Abstract: A process for forming a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) includes forming a semiconductor heterostructure including a channel layer of the HEMT, forming a gate layer of GaN on the channel layer, and patterning the gate layer to form a first gate finger, a second gate finger, and a gate arc connecting the first gate finger and the second gate finger. The process includes forming an isolation mask covering an active region of the semiconductor heterostructure and the gate arc and performing an ion bombardment process on an inactive region of the semiconductor heterostructure exposed by the isolation mask.
