Abstract:
The invention concerns an amplifier having at least one switch (308) controlled by an output voltage of a hysteresis block (300), wherein the hysteresis block is adapted to receive an input voltage signal (Vi) based on an integration of an error signal, a low threshold voltage and a high threshold voltage, and is arranged to change the output voltage from a first value to a second value when the input voltage signal is higher than the high threshold voltage and to change the output voltage from the second value to the first value when the input voltage signal is lower than the low threshold voltage, and wherein the low threshold voltage is equal to a reference voltage level (V ref ) minus a supply voltage level (αV DD ), and the high threshold voltage is equal to the reference voltage level plus the supply voltage level.
Abstract:
This method for transferring a stream of at least one data packet between a first electronic device and second electronic device through a network-on-chip, comprises: - storing data packets in memory means (2, 3) provided in a network interface; and - transferring data packets from the memory means to the second electronic device, Packets are transferred from the memory means (2, 3) after a quantity of packets is stored in the memory means, said quantity of packets being determined according to a value of a control parameter.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a lens unit including a lens barrel (202) for receiving at least one lens (204, 206, 208), a motor (210, 215) arranged to displace the lens barrel between an initial position and a maximum displacement, wherein the displacement of a lens barrel is proportional to the level of an electrical signal applied to the motor when the electrical signal is between first and second levels, the first level corresponding to a level for starting movement of the lens barrel from the initial position and the second level corresponding to a level for bringing the lens barrel to the maximum displacement; a first conductor (222) fixed to the lens barrel and arranged to make electrical contact with a second conductor (224) when said lens barrel is at one of said initial position and said maximum displacement; and a processor arranged to detect a change in the contact situation between the first and second conductive surfaces, to determine one of said first and second levels based on level of the electrical signal at the time of the change and to generate, based on said determined level, a level of said electrical signal for a desired displacement.
Abstract:
Electronic modules (8) are transported with respect to equipment for manipulating and testing electronic modules. The transport is formed from a thin support (1) having openings (3) for receiving electronic modules. A locating mechanism associated with the thin support serves to locate the support relative to transport and testing equipment. A mechanism (4) is further provided for holding the received electronic modules within the openings during transport and testing.
