Abstract: A system includes a control unit configured to be electrically connected to an input of a memory via a communication interface. The control unit includes a first power supply sector configured to be powered when the control unit is in an operating mode and a second power supply sector configured to be powered when the control unit is in the operating mode and in a low consumption mode. In the first power supply sector, the control unit includes a first configuration circuit operating to configure a polarization value of the input of the memory via the communication interface for the operating mode. In the second power supply sector, the control unit includes a second configuration circuit operating to configure a polarization value of the input of the memory via the communication interface for the low consumption mode.

Abstract: A control circuit for a voltage source generates a reference signal for a voltage source, wherein the reference signal indicates a requested output voltage to be generated by the voltage source. A digital feed-forward control circuit computes a digital feed-forward regulation value indicative of a requested output voltage by determining a maximum voltage drop at strings of solid-state light sources. A digital feed-back control circuit determines a minimum voltage drop for current regulators/limiters for the strings and determines a digital feed-back correction value as a function of the minimum voltage drop. The control circuit then sets the reference signal after a start-up as a function of the digital feed-forward regulation value and corrects the reference signal as a function of the digital feed-back correction value.

Abstract: The disclosure describes methods and apparatus for quickly prototyping of a solution developed using one or more sensing devices (e.g., sensors), functional blocks, algorithm libraries, and customized logic. The methods produce firmware executable by a processor (e.g., a microcontroller) on an embedded device such as a development board, expansion board, or the like. By performing these methods on the apparatus described, a user is able to create a function prototype without having deep knowledge of the particular sensing device or any particular programming language. Prototypes developed as described herein enable the user to rapidly test ideas and develop sensing device proofs-of-concept. The solutions produced by the methods and apparatus improve the functioning of the sensor being prototyped and the operation of the embedded device where the sensor is integrated.

Abstract: A circuit includes a current controller oscillator generating a CCO output signal at a CCO output, a charge pump boosting a supply voltage based on the CCO output signal and producing a charge pump output voltage at an output, and a current sensing circuit sensing load current at the output and generating a feedback signal having a magnitude that varies with the sensed load current if a magnitude of the sensed load current is between lower and upper load current thresholds. A frequency of the CCO output signal is constant at a lower frequency threshold where the sensed load current is below the lower load current threshold, asymptomically rises to an upper frequency threshold where the sensed load current is above the upper load current threshold, and is proportional to the feedback signal where the sensed load current is between the lower and upper load current thresholds.

Abstract: A charge pump circuit has load driven clock frequency management. The charge pump circuit includes a CCO generating a CCO output signal that has a frequency generally proportional to a feedback current, and a charge pump operated by the CCO output signal and boosting a supply voltage to produce a charge pump output voltage at an output coupled to a load. A current sensing circuit senses a load current drawn by the load and generates the feedback current as having a magnitude that varies as a function of the sensed load current if a magnitude of the load current is between a lower load current threshold and an upper load current threshold. The magnitude of the feedback current does not vary with the sensed load current if the magnitude of the sensed load current is not between the lower load current threshold and the upper load current threshold.

Abstract: An antenna includes two planar coils that are mechanically disposed face to face and electrically connected in series. The antenna is mounted to a disposable consumer product (for example, a cartridge for use with an electronic cigarette). The antenna is configured to support near field communications with a reader circuit for purposes of authenticating use of the disposable consumer product.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a plurality of waffle gate parallel transistors having a shared gate on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. The shared gate has connected lines that form a plurality of frames, lines of each of the frames being over the perimeter of a respective source or drain region. The shared gate includes frames of a first size and shape and frames of a second size and shape, such as squares, rectangles and octagons. The frames having the first size and shape are each over a respective source region and the frames having the second size and shape are each over a respective drain region. Each of the frames having a first size and shape share at least one side with one of the frames having the second size and shape.

Abstract: Several first digital streams of first digital samples at a first sampling frequency are processed to issue corresponding stream that are converted into second digital streams sampled at a second sampling frequency lower than said first sampling frequency. At least one delay to be applied to at least one first digital stream to satisfy a condition on the second digital streams is determined and applied to at least one first digital stream before converting. The converting operation performed is decimation filtering of the first digital streams. The application of the at least one delay to at least one first steam involves skipping a number of first digital samples in the at least one first digital stream. The number skipped depends on the value of the at least one delay. Samples that are skipped are not delivered for decimation filtering.

Abstract: A method includes: writing first data in a first partition of a first memory module and second data in a first partition of a second memory module, and selectively operating the first and second memory modules in a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The first operating mode includes writing parity bits for the first data in a second partition of the second memory module and parity bits for the second data in a second partition of the first memory module. The second operating mode includes writing further data instead of parity bits in the second partition of one or both the first memory module and the second memory module.
