Abstract: According to one aspect, an integrated circuit includes: an electronic module configured to generate a voltage at an output, and an electronic control circuit coupled to an output of the electronic module, the electronic control circuit comprising an emissive electronic component. The electronic control circuit is configured to cause the emissive electronic component to emit light radiation as a function of a value of the voltage at the output of the electronic module relative to a value of an operating voltage of the electronic module, and the operating voltage is specific thereto during normal operation of this electronic module. The light radiation emitted by the emissive electronic component is configured to diffuse to an outer face of the integrated circuit.

Abstract: The power supply device comprises a supply transistor commanded by a command signal and providing electric power to a lighting module, and a driving means configured to selectively generate, depending on an instruction signal representative of the structure of said at least one lighting module, a first command signal able to command the supply transistor into an ohmic regime, a second command signal able to command the supply transistor into a pulse width modulation regime involving an alternation of ohmic regimes and blocked regimes, and a third command signal able to command the supply transistor into a saturated regime.

Abstract: A method for writing into a one-time programmable memory of an integrated circuit includes attempting, by a memory control circuit of the integrated circuit, to write data in at least one first register of the one-time programmable memory; verifying, by the memory control circuit, whether the data has been correctly written in the at least one first register; and, in case the data has not been correctly written in the at least one first register, attempting, by the memory control circuit, to write the data in at least one second register of the one-time programmable memory.

Abstract: A vehicle communication network includes electronic control units arranged in a plurality of groups. The electronic control units pertaining to the same group are coupled to each other via a respective dedicated communication bus. A central controller is coupled to the plurality of local controllers. Electrical loads are coupled to one of the electronic control units. Each of the electronic control units is configured to decode the received CAN frame to produce the actuation signal for a respective electrical load in response to a CAN frame being received from the respective local controller and transmit a CAN wake-up frame to the respective local controller and encode the feedback signal into a CAN frame for transmission to the respective local controller in response to the feedback signal being received from the respective electrical load.
