    Abstract: An edge crack monitoring system for an integrated circuit provided on a die, comprises a conductive trace comprising at least a first conductive path for allowing current in a first direction, and a second adjacent conductive path for allowing current in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Both adjacent conductive paths form at least one loop surrounding a semiconductor device on a die. The arrangement of the trace is adapted to provide compensation of EM interferences. The trace comprises two terminals being connectable to a detection circuit for detecting damages by generating a fault signal upon detection of disruption of the conductive trace due to a damage. The conductive trace comprises high resistance portions with a resistance of at least 1 kΩ, adapted for reducing self-resonance.

    Abstract: A method for autoconfiguration of a plurality of nodes in a linear network allows extracting the address and position of each node. The method includes applying an identifier field for transmitting to the bus the bit sequence of the identifier of a chosen node. Then for at least for the first node to the last but one node, a field comprising a predetermined bit sequence is applied. The field comprises dominant bits, so a current is transmitted. Then, a further field is applied for transmitting any stored direction bit associated to that node and obtained in any previous iteration. The iteration continues by choosing a node different from a node chosen in any previous cycle, starting the communication, until all nodes are identified.

    Abstract: A transmitter for establishing communication between a device and a differential network bus includes current driving means connected to each of the two conduction lines of the differential network bus, through a first and second conduction paths of the transmitter; at least one unidirectional current regulator for extracting a first current equal to a known ratio of a parasitic current circulating through the first conduction path, with a direction inverse to the driving current through the conduction path connected to one of the lines of the differential bus; means for obtaining, from the first current, a second current with a magnitude equal to the original magnitude of the parasitic current; and means for introducing the second current into the second conduction path connected to the other line of the differential bus.

    Abstract: A method for performing an initialization or a reset of a port of an integrated circuit includes: receiving in a device for supervising ports, from a central processing unit of the integrated circuit, a port initialisation signal comprising port initialisation data and one or more parity bits; inverting in the device for supervising ports the one or more parity bits in accordance with the port initialization signal; providing the port initialisation signal comprising the port initialisation data and the inverted one or more parity bits to the port of the integrated circuit; on receipt of the port initialisation signal at the port, inverting again in the port the inverted one or more parity bits, thereby obtaining the original one or more parity bits and storing the port initialisation data and the just obtained original one or more parity bits.

    Abstract: A circuit for receiving and processing a bit stream obtained from an electronic communication bus-system comprises a bit stream processor and bit sampling of the bit stream to provide a sampled output signal. The circuit comprises a frame decoder for decoding a data frame encoded in the sampled output signal, and a clock signal generator for generating a first clock signal for the bit stream processor. The circuit comprises a clock signal downsampler for generating a second clock signal having a lower frequency than the first clock signal, in which the second clock signal is based on a co-occurrence of a clock pulse in the first clock signal and the emission of a bit in the sampled output signal. The bit stream processor is adapted for synchronizing the first clock signal to an external protocol timing of the incoming bit stream.
