Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first stage configured to receive a bias current. A current regulation loop includes a transimpedance amplifier having a first transistor, and a second transistor having a gate coupled to a gate of the first transistor. The first transistor and the second transistor are configured to compare the bias current with a reference current, and to generate a regulation voltage on an output node of the transimpedance amplifier. A capacitor is coupled between the output node of the transimpedance amplifier and the gates of the first and second transistors.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for soft-starting an SMPS includes: asserting an enable signal; disabling an output stage of the SMPS; after asserting the enable signal, measuring a feedback voltage of the SMPS; receiving a first reference voltage at an input reference node; comparing the measured feedback voltage with the first reference voltage; and, when the measured feedback voltage is lower than the first reference voltage, storing the feedback voltage in a soft-start capacitor, connecting an output reference node to the soft-start capacitor, enabling the output stage of the SMPS, and switching a transistor of the output stage to regulate the output voltage based on the feedback voltage and a second reference voltage at the output reference node, and injecting a current into the soft-start capacitor.

Abstract: In an embodiment an envelope detection device includes an input terminal configured to receive an amplitude-modulated radio frequency signal, a first resistive element and a first MOS transistor connected in parallel between the input terminal and a first node configured to receive a reference potential, a first capacitive element connected between a gate of the first MOS transistor and the first node, an envelope detection circuit connected to the input terminal and configured to supply a voltage representative of an envelope of the amplitude-modulated signal and a circuit for controlling the first MOS transistor configured to supply a first current to the gate of the first MOS transistor only when the voltage is smaller than a first threshold and draw a second current from the gate of the first MOS transistor only when the voltage is higher than a second threshold, the second threshold being higher than the first threshold.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a radio frequency (RF) receiver circuit includes a main circuit and a wake-up circuit. The main circuit is configured to process RF signals. The wake-up circuit is configured to detect a reception of the RF signals. The wake-up circuit includes an automatic gain control (AGC) loop, and is configured to have a first operating mode where a set point voltage of the loop has a first substantially constant value, and a second operating mode where the set point voltage of the loop has a second value dependent on a power supply voltage of the wake-up circuit.
