    Abstract: An electronic chip is provided that includes a plurality of first transistors electrically coupled to one another in parallel. A plurality of first isolating trenches is included in the electronic chip, and the first transistors are separated from one another by the first isolating trenches. Each of the first isolation trenches has a depth and a maximum width, and the depth depends on, or is a function of, the maximum width.

    Abstract: A system, supplied by a power supply, is switched into standby mode by an electronic device that includes a charging input coupled to a charge voltage obtained from the voltage delivered by the power supply. A first input is coupled to the power supply and a power supply output is coupled to the system. A storage capacitive element is coupled to the charging input and configured to be charged by the charge voltage. A switching circuit, coupled between the first input and the power supply output, disconnects the power supply output from the first input when the voltage across the terminals of the storage capacitive element is higher than a threshold. A discharge circuit discharges the storage capacitive element so that the capacitor voltage becomes lower than the threshold. The switching circuit further re-connects the first input to the power supply output at the end of the discharge period.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes at least one antifuse element. The antifuse element is formed from a semiconductor substrate, a trench extending down from a first face of the semiconductor substrate into the semiconductor substrate, a first conductive layer housed in the trench and extending down from the first face of the semiconductor substrate into the semiconductor substrate, a dielectric layer on the first face of the semiconductor substrate, and a second conductive layer on the dielectric layer. A program transistor selectively electrically couples the second conductive layer to a program voltage in response to a program signal. A program/read transistor selectively electrically couples the first conductive layer to a ground voltage in response to the program signal and in response to a read signal. A read transistor selectively electrically couples the second conductive layer to a read amplifier in response to the read signal.

    Abstract: A system includes a near-field communication device configured to transmit a radio frequency control signal in a near-field regime and an interface. The interface includes a near-field communication circuit configured to receive the RF control signal. The interface further includes a pulse width modulation signal generation circuit configured to generate a pulse width modulation signal according to the radio frequency control signal. The system further includes an electrically-controllable equipment configured to be controlled by the pulse width modulation signal.
