    Abstract: A voltage regulator has a first output is connected to a capacitive element. A current source is coupled between the first output and a first node receiving a power supply voltage. The current source delivers a first DC current in response to assertion of a first binary signal. A comparator asserts a second binary signal when a first voltage on the first output is lower than a set point voltage. A first circuit controls assertion of the first signal for a first fixed time period when the second binary signal is asserted.

    Abstract: A device includes global positioning circuitry, sensing circuitry, and processing circuitry. The global positioning circuitry, in operation, receives location-related data. The sensing circuitry, in operation, senses data related to the device. The processing circuitry, in operation, determines a motion state of the electronic system based on data sensed by the sensing circuitry, and selects a plurality of control parameters from one or more configuration matrixes based on the determined motion state. The plurality of control parameters includes a power-mode control parameter and a location-determination control parameter. The processing circuitry configures a power-mode of the device based on the power-mode control parameter, and determines a location characteristic of the device based on the received location-related data and the location-determination control parameter.

    Abstract: A retention flip flop includes a first latch, a second latch, and a retention latch. The first and second latches are powered by an interruptible primary supply voltage while the retention latch is powered by a secondary supply voltage that is not interrupted. The retention flip-flop receives a single retention control signal that controls whether the flip-flop is in a standard mode or a retention mode. In the retention mode, the flip-flop clock signal is paused.

    Abstract: Test circuitry includes a scan-compressor receiving n scan-input bits from n input-pins and compressing those bits for distribution among z scan-chains, z being less than n. A scan-decompressor receives test response data from the scan-chains and decompresses the test response data, reconstructing n scan-output bits. An OCC generates a test-clock based on clock-bits received from a clock-chain, with the test-clock operating the scan-chains and the clock-chain. The clock-chain receives m clock-chain input bits from m of the input-pins, m being less than n, and provides the clock-bits to the OCC for generating the test-clock. The test circuitry performs tests on the IC. Each test is associated with the test-clock generated by the OCC based on a given set of clock-bits. Tests associated with the test-clock generated by the OCC based on the same given set of clock-bits are performed after a single loading of that same given set of clock-bits.

    Abstract: A crash detection system includes first and second sensors and a processor. The processor receives first sensor data output by the first sensor, determines whether the first sensor data indicates a first class or a second class, outputs an enable signal to the second sensor if the first sensor data indicates the second class, receives second sensor data output by the second sensor after the enable signal is output, determines whether the second sensor data indicates a high acceleration value, determines whether the first sensor data indicates the first class within a predetermined amount of time after the second sensor data is determined to indicate the high acceleration value, and outputs a signal indicating a crash has occurred in response to determining that the first sensor data indicates the first class within the predetermined amount of time after the second sensor data is determined to indicate the high acceleration value.

    Abstract: A level shifter having current boosting stages is provided. The level shifter includes a level shifting stage including a plurality of transistors and first and second nodes. The level shifting stage is configured to transfer a first signal of a first voltage domain to a second signal of a second voltage domain. A plurality of current boosting stages are associated with the transistors, respectively. A first current boosting stage provides a first boosting stage current path to support a first level shifter current path of a first transistor of the plurality of transistors in response to: a first supply voltage of the first voltage domain being greater than a second supply voltage of the second voltage domain, the first signal having a first logical state and the first node having a logical state reflecting that the first signal has a second logical state different from the first logical state.
