Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating an imaging device having a matrix of pixels arranged in rows and columns. A polarization voltage is generated on a gate of a main MOS transistor that is connected as diode. The main MOS transistor is coupled between a power supply voltage and a ground circuit. Prior to reading the pixels of a row of the matrix, a plurality of first capacitors are charged with the polarization voltage. The first capacitors are coupled between the gate of the main transistor and a ground node. Upon reading the pixels of the row, the first capacitors are discharged on respective gates of auxiliary transistors coupled between the columns and the ground node so as to switch on the auxiliary transistors and deliver a substantially identical polarization current to each column.

Abstract: A laser diode driver circuit includes a first pair of contacts and connectors coupled to an anode of the laser diode. An inductance of each of the first pair of contacts and connectors is the same. A second pair of contacts and connectors are coupled to a cathode of the laser diode. An inductance of each of the second pair of contacts and connectors is the same. The laser diode driver circuit also includes current driving circuitry.

Abstract: An electrical connection wire connects an electrical connection pad of an electrical chip and an electrical connection pad of a carrier substrate to which the electronic chip is mounted. A dielectric layer surrounds at least the bonding wire. The dielectric layer may be a dielectric sheath or a hardened liquid dielectric material. A dielectric material may also cover at least a portion of the electrical chip and carrier substrate. A liquid electrically conductive material is deposited and hardened to form a local conductive shield surrounding the dielectric layer at the bonding wire.

Abstract: A processor interacts with a memory set including a cache memory, a first memory storing at least a first piece of information in a first information group, and a second memory storing at least a second piece of information in a second information group. In response to a first cache miss and following a first request from the processor for the first piece of information, the first piece of information obtained from the first memory is supplied to the processor. After a second request from the processor for the second piece of information, the second piece of information obtained from the second memory is supplied to the processor, even if the first information group is currently being transferred from the first memory for loading into the cache memory.

Abstract: A digital circuit includes a scan chain which loads data into and unloads data from the digital circuit. Checking circuitry is coupled to the scan chain and generates a first digital signature based on data indicative of a pre-testing status of the digital circuit as the data is unloaded from the digital circuit via the scan chain. When testing is completed, the data is restored to the digital circuit via the scan chain. The checking circuitry generates a second digital signature as the data is loaded into the digital circuit. The first digital signature is compared to the second digital signature to verify an integrity of the process. A specific data pattern may be loaded into the scan chain as the data is unloaded. An output of the scan chain may be monitored to detect the pattern and an error signal may be generated based on when the pattern is detected.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a clock synchronizing circuit includes: a phase comparator including a first circuit having a first input configured to receive a data signal; and a second circuit. The first circuit is configured to detect edges of the data signal. The second circuit includes a clock generator configured to generate a clock signal with adjustable frequency, where the phase comparator is configured to compare, after detecting an edge of the data signal, an edge of the data signal with an edge of the clock signal, and where the second circuit is configured to modify a frequency of the clock signal as a function of an output signal of the phase comparator.

Abstract: A method can be used for programming a group of memory cells of a non-volatile memory device in a programming window that has a duration longer than a programming duration of a memory cell. The programming window is subdivided into a number of time intervals. A programming profile that was determined by simulation while taking into account a reference criterion is retrieved. The programming profile includes, for each time interval, a maximum number of memory cells that can be triggered for programming within each time interval. The memory device is programmed in the programming window, interval-wise, using the programming profile.
