Abstract: An embodiment driver circuit comprises a power supply pin configured to receive a power supply voltage, and a set of control pins configured to provide a set of control signals for controlling switching of a set of switches of an h-bridge circuit comprising a pair of high-side switches and a pair of low-side switches. The driver circuit comprises control circuitry coupled to the control pins and configured to generate the control signals, and sensing circuitry coupled to the power supply pin and configured to generate a detection signal indicative of the power supply voltage exceeding a threshold value. The control circuitry is sensitive to the detection signal and is configured to generate the control signals to activate one of the pair of high-side switches and the pair of low-side switches and de-activate the other of the pair of high-side switches and the pair of low-side switches.

Abstract: An embodiment processing system comprises a queued SPI circuit, which comprises a hardware SPI communication interface, an arbiter and a plurality of interface circuits. Each interface circuit comprises a transmission FIFO memory, a reception FIFO memory and an interface control circuit. The interface control circuit is configured to receive first data packets and store them to the transmission FIFO memory. The interface control circuit sequentially reads the first data packets from the transmission FIFO memory, extracts at least one transmission data word, and provides the extracted word to the arbiter. The interface control circuit receives from the arbiter a reception data word and stores second data packets comprising the received reception data word to the reception FIFO memory. The interface control circuit sequentially reads the second data packets from the reception FIFO memory and transmits them to the digital processing circuit.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes determining whether a frame received from a communication bus is encoded according to a particular communication protocol and is addressed to a particular electronic device; increasing a frame count value when the frame is encoded according to the particular communication protocol and is addressed to the particular electronic device based on the determination, wherein increasing the frame count value comprises increasing a count of a modular arithmetic counter circuit having a first bit depth, and the frame count value is constrained to a modulus value of the modular arithmetic counter circuit; setting a frame count status bit based on comparing the frame count value to threshold values, and transmitting a frame comprising the frame counter status bit over the communication bus, and resetting the frame count value at an end of a monitoring time interval.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processing system includes a non-volatile memory, a hardware block, a protection circuit associated with the hardware block, and a password verification circuit. The non-volatile memory stores at least one reference password. The password verification circuit is configured to receive a password verification command, obtain a reference password, and test whether the passwords correspond. In case the passwords correspond, the password verification circuit generate an overwrite signal. The protection circuit is configured to receive a control command and selectively forward the control command to the associated hardware block as a function of the overwrite signal.

Abstract: A device has a plurality of CAN XL communication systems, a bus, and a switching circuit. The bus has a transmission node and reception node, and receives from each CAN XL communication system a respective second transmission signal and drives the logic level at the transmission node as a function of the logic levels of the second transmission signals, and provides to each CAN XL communication system a respective second reception signal having a logic level determined as a function of the logic level at the reception node. The switching circuit supports a plurality of modes. In a first mode, the switching circuit is configured to provide the NRZ encoded transmission signals of the CAN XL communication systems as the second transmission signals to the bus system, and provide the respective second reception signal received from the bus to the CAN XL protocol controllers of the CAN XL communication system.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a hardware configuration circuit reads and decodes an encoded life-cycle data and provides the decoded life-cycle data to a hardware circuit. A reset circuit monitors an external reset signal received via a reset terminal and, in response to determining that the external reset signal has a first logic level, executes a reset, a configuration, and a wait phase. The reset circuit waits until the external reset signal has a second logic level. A communication interface is activated during the wait phase and configured to receive a request. A hardware verification circuit generates a life-cycle advancement request signal when the request includes a given reference password and a reset circuit is in the wait phase. A write circuit writes a bit of the encoded life-cycle data stored in a non-volatile memory when the life-cycle advancement request signal is set, advancing the life-cycle to a given predetermined life-cycle stage.
