Abstract: A driving circuit for piezoelectric actuators comprises a chip of semiconductor material integrating both an interface circuit receiving at input a control signal generated by a control logic unit, and a power circuit driving the piezoelectric actuators. The power circuit is directly connected to the output of the interface circuit.

Abstract: The method described is applied to an integrated circuit formed on a substrate (10) of p-type material having at least one region (11) of n-type material with junction insulation, first electrical contact means (20,21) on the frontal surface of the substrate, second electrical contact means (14,14') on the n-type region (11) and third electrical contact means (8) on the back of the substrate connected to a reference (ground) terminal of the integrated circuit. To avoid current in the substrate due to the conduction of parasitic bipolar transistors in certain operating conditions of the integrated circuit, the method provides for monitoring the potential of the second contact means (14,14') to detect if this potential departs from the (ground) potential of the reference terminal by an amount greater than a predetermined threshold value. If this occurs the first contact means (20,21) are taken to the potential of the second contact means (14,14'), otherwise they are held at the (ground)potential of the reference terminal. A device and an integrated circuit which utilise the method are also described.

Abstract: The device and method monitor the current delivered to a load through a power transistor including a sense transistor. The circuit includes a disturbances attenuating circuit that has a differential stage, and first, second and third stages referenced to ground, the respective input nodes of which are connected in common to an output node of the differential stage. The third stage is formed by a transistor identical to a transistor of the first stage and delivers a current signal through a current terminal thereof, proportional to the current being delivered to the load.
