    Abstract: System, method, and circuitry for generating content for a programmable computing device based on user-selected memory regions. Contiguous regions that share memory access attributes are merged, interleaved contiguous regions that share at least one nested attribute are defined into combined regions, and remaining regions are defined as separate independent regions. A memory protection unit (MPU) region size closest to a size of each defined region is identified. If the start address of each region aligns with the address structure of the MPU region size, then those regions are assigned to MPU regions having the MPU region size; otherwise, another MPU size that aligns with the size of the regions is selected and those regions are assigned to MPU regions having that size. Content is generated to configure settings of MPU regions of the programmable computing device for the merged contiguous regions, the combined region, and the independent regions.

    Abstract: Load current consumption measured using a first resistor having a high resistive value and a second resistor having a low resistive value. Differential amplifiers, the outputs of which are coupled to analog-to-digital converters and to a processing circuit unit, are connected to each of the nodes of the resistors. Depending on the current level, the processing circuit unit advantageously selects one of the analog-to-digital converters to estimate the present consumption of current in the load. Each input terminal of a resistor is advantageously power supplied from a power amplifier and each power amplifier is advantageously driven by a control loop. For low load currents, the first amplifier associated with the first resistor power supplies the load through the resistors while, for high load currents, when this first amplifier saturates, the second amplifier associated with the second resistor, takes over from the first amplifier to continue to power supply the load.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a connector (e.g., a USB connector), a first element configured to operate the connector as a host device connector, a second element configured to operate the connector as a peripheral device connector, and a third element configured to generate a first signal upon connection of the connector. The first signal is indicative of whether the device is to operate as a host device or a peripheral device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for authenticating instructions and operands in an electronic system comprising a controller. The method includes extracting instructions and operands via a first circuit of the controller from at least a first memory internal to the controller using a matrix bus of the controller, collecting, on the matrix bus, via a second circuit internal to the controller, instructions and operands during their transmission to the first circuit, and generating a word representative of the instructions and operands.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a device, of a control signal identifying a first application from among a plurality of compressed applications stored in a non-volatile memory of the device. The first application is stored in a first location of the non-volatile memory. The device decompresses the first application. The decompressing includes storing the decompressed first application into the non-volatile memory at least partially into the first location, and into a second location storing a second compressed application among the plurality of applications. The decompressed first application overwriting at least a portion of the second compressed application. The method may be performed as part of a customization process of an integrated circuit including the non-volatile memory.

    Abstract: A connector that is configured to receive a smart card includes: a first contact configured to receive a power supply voltage and corresponding to a first (power supply) contact area of the smart card, a second contact configured to receive a reference voltage and corresponding to contact a second (reference voltage) contact area of the smart card, and a third contact corresponding to a three-state (input/output) contact area of the smart card. A first light-emitting diode having an anode coupled to the third contact and a cathode coupled to the second contact. A second light-emitting diode has a cathode coupled to the third contact and an anode coupled to the first contact. Turning on/off of the first and second light-emitting diode is controlled by the smart card through the signal at the three-state (input/output) contact area.
