Abstract: A system for designing Network-on-Chip interconnect arrangements includes a Network-on-Chip backbone with a plurality of backbone ports and a set of functional clusters of aggregated IPs providing respective sets of System-on-Chip functions. The functional clusters include respective sub-networks attachable to any of the backbone ports and to any other functional cluster in the set of functional clusters independently of the source map of the Network-on-Chip backbone.

Abstract: A cover for an electronic package is manufactured by placing an optical insert, having opposite faces and configured to allow light radiation to pass therethrough, between two opposite faces of a cavity of a mold in a position such that said optical faces of the optical insert make contact with said opposite faces of the cavity of the mold. A coating material is injected into the cavity and around the optical insert. The coating material is set to obtain a substrate that is overmolded around the optical insert so as to produce the cover. An electronic package includes an electronic chip mounted to a support substrate with the cover formed by the overmolded substrate mounted to the support substrate.

Abstract: The following steps are performed in connection with a photodiode circuit: a) resetting the photodiode circuit; b) determining when a photodiode voltage changes in response to illumination to reach a threshold; and c) updating a counter in response to the determination in step b). The steps a) to c) are repeated until an end of a measurement period is reached. The value of the counter at the end of the measurement period is then output to indicate an intensity of the illumination.

Abstract: Tone mapping is applied to pixels of a digital image. A luminance value of a pixel is determined based on whether one or more pixel intensity values of a pixel in a color space are within a pixel saturation range. A pixel gain is determined based on the determined luminance value of the pixel, and the determined pixel gain is applied to the pixel. The luminance value may also or instead be determined based on whether one or more of the pixel intensity values is within a pixel black-out range. A weight may be employed to determine the luminance value.

Abstract: A method can be used to generate a reference clock signal having a reference frequency. N clock sub-signals are generated, where N is greater than or equal to 2. The N clock sub-signals are successively mutually shifted out of phase by π/N and each clock sub-signal has an elementary frequency that is equal to the reference frequency divided by N. The N clock sub-signals are propagated over propagation paths. The elementary frequency and a length of the longest propagation path are chosen so that each sub-signal has an acceptable degree of deformation. The duration of each sub-signal edge is longer than quarter of the period of the reference frequency. The reference clock signal is generated by EXCLUSIVE OR combining the propagated clock sub-signals at the end of their respective propagation paths.

Abstract: An upstream signal capture device includes a signal capture circuit having a first port and a second port. The first port of the signal capture circuit is arranged for coupling to a diplexer. The upstream signal capture device also includes an amplifier having a first port and a second port, the first port of the amplifier coupled to the second port of the signal capture circuit, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) having a first port and a second port, the first port of the ADC coupled to the second port of the amplifier. The upstream signal capture device further includes a digital threshold detector having an input and output, the input of the digital threshold detector coupled to the second port of the analog-to-digital converter, and a memory configured to capture samples of the upstream signal. When using the upstream signal capture device to capture an upstream signal, a portion of an upstream signal is diverted into an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A portion of the upstream signal is converted into a digital signal, and when the digital signal exceeds a threshold, the signal is captured in a memory.

Abstract: A method for composing a multilayer video image of which the values of the pixels of the image layers are stored in a memory. The video image may include at least one first image layer and a second image layer located in front of the at least one first layer and having an opaque area. The method may include defining a region of the at least one first image layer to be hidden by the opaque area, reading from the memory the stored pixel values, with the exception of the values of the pixels of the region of the at least one first image layer, and composing the video image at least from the read pixel values.

Abstract: A method can be used for managing a power supply voltage on an output power supply pin of a USB Type-C source device coupled to a USB Type-C receiver device via a USB Type-C cable. A first measurement of a first voltage on a channel configuration pin of the cable is performed when the receiver device is not powered and a second measurement of a second voltage on the channel configuration pin is performed when the receiver device is powered. A difference between the first and second voltages is calculated and the power supply voltage is modified as a function of a value of the difference.
