    Abstract: One delay circuit is inserted in open loop inside a clock recovery circuit for improving the accuracy of clock recovery. One oscillator signal f(0) to f(2 i -1) is provided with a basic Step of Time. A rational number of Step of Time corresponding to a bit-duration is measured inside a received flow of bits. The oscillator signal f(0) to j(2 i -1) is transformed into a clock signal CK having active edges of said clock signal in phase with at least one oscillator signal f(0) to f(2 i -1), two consecutive active edges being separated by a time duration proportional to the integer part of the number of Step of Time. A time delay is computed proportional to the fractional part of the number of Step of Time. The next active edge of the clock signal CK is delayed of said computed delay.

    Abstract: The method for programming a row of antifuse memory cells (SEL1-SELN) connected in parallel comprises a step of breakdown of at least N antifuse elements (AF1-AFN) contained in the memory cells, which becomes conducting by breakdown. The breakdown of an antifuse element is carried out by applying a breakdown voltage (Vhv) onto the anode of the antifuse element. The antifuse elements are broken down sequentially in groups of P elements, where P is less than N and at least equal to 1. The antifuse elements of the same group receives the breakdown voltage simultaneously, and the breakdown of the next group of the antifuse elements follows the breakdown of the preceding group of the antifuse elements. The antifuse elements are broken down individually one after another when P = 1. The value of P is chosen so that the total time (TP) of the breakdown of N antifuse elements is optimal. The number P is not constant during the programming of the row of memory cells. The method comprises a step of detecting the breakdown of the antifuse elements manifested in a voltage on the cathode of the antifuse elements higher than a determined threshold (Vref). The cathode voltage and the reference voltage are input to a comparator (CMP), which delivers a signal (SHIFT) to the control input of a shift register (SREG) comprising N cells in cascade (C1 - CN) for controlling switches in pairs: SWA1 and SWB1, ..., SWAN and SWBN. The antifuse memory in the form of an integrated circuit implements the method as claimed, and comprises means for sequentially applying the breakdown voltage to the groups of antifuse elements.

    Abstract: The circuit for detecting a supply potential (VDD,VINT) comprises basically two branches: the first branch with two resistors (R1,R2) and a bipolar transistor (TB1) producing the first image potential (VP), and the second branch with a resistor (R3) and a bipolar transistor (TB2) producing the second image potential (VM); and a comparator (COMP) producing a blocking or holding signal (POR) which is in a first logic state (active) when the first image potential (VP) is below the second iamge potential (VM), and in a second logic state (inactive) otherwise. The first image potential (VP) increases slowly with the supply potential, and the second image potential (VM) increases rapidly with the supply potential. The two image potentials are equal when the supply potential is equal to a characteristic constant of the circuit. Each bipolar transistor (TB1,TB2) has its base and its collector connected together to the ground. The two resistances (R2,R3) are equal. In a variant of the circuit (dotted line), a voltage divider bridge with two resistors (R4,R5) receives the supply potential (VDD) and produces a measure potential (VINT) which is proportional to the supply potential, and a capacitor (C) is connected in parallel with the two branches.

The higher potential (HT) is, for example, 10.5 V for an anti-fuse transistor with the gate oxide layer of thickness 50 A. In the second embodiment, a branch comprising a second access transistor in series with the current source is connected between the source of the anti-fuse transistor and the supply potential (VDD). In the third embodiment, the current source is connected in series with the third access transistor, and a fourth access transistor is connected between the gate of the anti-fuse transistor and the supply potential (VDD).

    Abstract: The peripheral has an interface circuit with a detection circuit (DCT) detecting the presence or absence of pull-down resistors of a master device (H) e.g. computer. The circuit (DCT) is connected to positive and negative data terminals (D+, D-) of a universal serial bus (USB) port of the peripheral. The peripheral establishes a communication with the device (H) via the port, if the circuit (DCT) detects the resistors. The circuit (DCT) verifies if voltages applied to the data terminals exceed 0.8 volts, if DC voltages (Vg+, Vg-, Vg) provided by a generator (VGEN) is less than 0.8 volts.
