Abstract: A method for driving a resonant converter comprising a primary switching circuit having at least a primary winding and a primary full-bridge switching stage (M1, M2, M3, M4), and an inductor (Lres) in series with the primary winding, a secondary resonant circuit having a secondary winding magnetically coupled to the primary winding, a resonance capacitor (Cres) electrically connected in parallel to the secondary winding, a secondary rectification stage electrically connected in parallel to the resonance capacitor (Cres), which has a first switch (M6) and a second switch (M5), each connected between a respective terminal of the resonance capacitor (Cres) and ground. Moreover provided is a driving module, configured for receiving at input an enabling signal (START) and the voltage (Phase) measured across the switch (M*) of the secondary side, the driving module being configured for generating a control signal (SW) for controlling the switches of the secondary side (M*). The method comprises executing cyclically the following sequence of operations: - turning on low-side switches (M1, M3) of said primary switching stage and both switches (M5, M6) of said secondary rectification stage and turning off high-side switches (M2, M4) of the primary switching stage; - after a fixed time, turning off the low-side switch (M3) and turning on the high-side switch (M4) of the primary switching stage; - waiting for a rising edge (RE) of said enabling signal (START); - waiting for the condition of zero current (ZCD) flowing in the switches of the secondary side (M5, M6, M*) to be satisfied; - turning off the first switch (M*, M6) of the secondary side by sending the control signal (SW) to the low level (0 V) after a variable delay (Dzcd(n)) with respect to the rising edge of the enabling signal (START), and keeping the second switch (M5) of the secondary side on; - waiting for the condition of zero voltage across the first switch (M*, M6) of the secondary side to be satisfied; - switching back on the first switch (M*, M6) of the secondary side by sending the control signal (SW) to the high level when the voltage (Phase) measured across the first switch of the secondary side (M*, M6) drops below a variable threshold (Vthzvs); and executing the previous operations, reversing, with respect to one another, the roles of the high-side switches (M2, M4) and low-side switches (M1, M3) of the primary switching stage and reversing, with respect to one another, the roles of the first switch (M6) and second switch (M5) of the secondary rectification stage.

Abstract: A method and control device is used for testing electronic memory devices. The method comprises loading test data and/or instructions into a control logic circuit portion associated with a matrix array of memory cells and integrated storage circuitry. According to the invention, a test operation control device is used temporarily instead of the control logic, the test operation control device being external of and connected detachably to the memory device. Advantageously, the test operation control device is a matrix cell array external of the memory.

Abstract: A method for error control in multilevel memory cells storing a configurable number of bits. The error control is performed using an error-control code which operates, in the encoding phase, on b-bit binary strings made up of k symbols of r-bit data. When the memory cells store a number r of bits, a data symbol is formed only with the data bits stored in a memory cell. When the memory cells store a number s of bits smaller than r, a data symbol is formed with the data bits stored in a memory cell and with r-s bits having a pre-determined logic value, in which the data bits stored in the memory cell are arranged in the least significant part of the data symbol, and the r-s bits having a pre-determined logic value are arranged in the most significant part of the data symbol.
