    Abstract: A process for forming an electrical resistance in an integrated MOS transistor includes applying a first voltage to the source and gate of the MOS transistor, and applying a second voltage to the drain of the MOS transistor. A prebiasing voltage is applied to the substrate of the MOS transistor to make the base/emitter junction of a parasitic bipolar transistor of the MOS transistor conduct. The first and second voltages are capable of initiating a breakdown of the MOS transistor by an avalanche of the drain/substrate junction, an irreversible breakdown of the drain/substrate junction, and a short circuit between the drain and the source.

    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a capacitive charge pump. The charge pump is regulated by a regulating voltage when the supply voltage is greater than the regulating voltage. When the supply voltage is less than a triggering voltage, which is less than or equal to the regulating voltage, the charge pump is automatically supplied between the supply voltage and ground. In one preferred method, the charge pump has a first supply terminal connected to the supply voltage and a second supply terminal that is automatically grounded when the supply voltage is less than the triggering voltage. Also provided is a capacitive charge pump device that includes a charge pump having first and second supply terminals, a voltage regulator delivering a regulating voltage, a switch connected between the second supply terminal and ground, and switch control circuitry for automatically controlling the switch. The first supply terminal is connected to a supply voltage and the voltage regulator is connected between the first and second supply terminals. The switch control circuitry opens the switch when the supply voltage is greater than or equal to a triggering voltage, which is less than the regulating voltage, and closes the switch when the supply voltage is less than the triggering voltage.

    Abstract: The method involves comparison of control signal to reference signal. When the control signal (Vc) is a digital signal with two logic states, it is compared to the first reference voltage (VRef1), and the difference in levels between the control signal and the first reference voltage is made greater than the offset voltage of the comparator (COMP2). When the control signal (Vc) is an analog signal, the sawtooth reference signal varies between the first reference voltage (VRef1) and the second reference voltage (VRef2), which is higher than the first. Then the first reference voltage (VRef1) is generated in the floating manner by connecting the first voltage source (ST1) between the inverted input of the comparator (COMP2) and a capacitor (CF), which is connected to the ground. The control voltage is applied to the non-inverted input of the comparator (COMP2). When the control signal (Vc) is the digital signal, the terminal of the first voltage source (ST1) connected to the capacitor (CF) is joined to ground.
