    Abstract: An internal voltage offset between a positive input and a negative input of a first operational amplifier is compensated. The negative input and the positive input of the first operational amplifier are coupled at the same voltage level. A comparison current generated at an output of the first operational amplifier has a sign that is representative of a sign of the internal voltage offset. The output of the first operational amplifier is biased to a threshold voltage using a current-to-voltage converter. A control voltage is generated from a sum of the threshold voltage and a voltage conversion of the comparison current. Compensation for the internal voltage offset between the positive and negative inputs of the first operational amplifier is made dependent on the control voltage.

    Abstract: The present description concerns a method comprising: the loading, from a non-volatile memory of a circuit to a computation circuit, of a first security parameter of the circuit and of a first error-correcting code stored in association with the first security parameter; the verification, by the computation circuit, of the first security parameter and of the first error-correcting code to determine whether one or a plurality of the bits of the security parameter are erroneous; and if it is determined that two bits of the security parameter are erroneous, the loading of a default value of the first parameter into a register.

    Abstract: An electronic system includes a first LC oscillator connected to a first general-purpose input/output (GPIO) circuit and a second LC oscillator connected to a second GPIO circuit. A threshold generator is coupled to an input of the comparator. A control circuit is configured to control a measurement phase comprising a first capture phase and a second capture phase. A microcontroller is coupled to the control circuit and a power management circuit is configured to switch-off the microcontroller following activation of the control circuit by the microcontroller. The control circuit is configured to control the application of an excitation signal to the each oscillator via the respective GPIO circuit, control the GPIO circuit so that oscillations of the oscillator are provided to the comparator, and count, based on an output of the comparator, a number of oscillations in the oscillator exceeding a threshold output by the threshold generator.

    Abstract: A light sensor includes an integrated circuit chip and a boost DC/DC converter. The integrated circuit chip supports an array of pixels, each pixel including a SPAD. The boost DC/DC converter delivers to the SPADs a bias potential capable of placing the SPADs in Geiger mode. The boost DC/DC converter includes an inductive element, a first switch, a second switch, and a circuit for controlling on/off switching of the first switch. The inductive element and the first and second switches are arranged outside of the integrated circuit chip while the control circuit forms part of the integrated circuit chip.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a system on chip includes: a plurality of master equipment; a plurality of slave resources, where a slave resource of the plurality of slave resources comprises a memory device includes a first memory area; an interconnection circuit; and a check circuit. A first master equipment is configured to define initial access rights for the first memory area, and to delegate access management of the first memory area to a second master equipment. The second master equipment is configured to define for the first memory area, particular access rights from the initial access rights associated with the first memory area and access right rules; and the check circuit is configured to check whether a transaction intended for the first memory area is indeed authorized to access the first memory area using applicable access rights associated with the first memory area.
