    Abstract: An optical emitting circuit includes an array of M optical sources distributed in N groups, where N is lower than M. A controller is configured to generate N periodic square wave control signals that are successively mutually phase shifted by pi/N and that all have the same period, and to cyclically activate/deactivate all the optical sources of the N groups using the control signals. The optical emitting circuit is configured so that each group is activated when a corresponding control signal is in its first state and deactivated when the corresponding control signal is in its second state. The number of optical sources in each group and the order of the groups in the sequence of activations/deactivations are chosen so as to generate an optical signal having an amplitude that sinusoidally varies in steps.

    Abstract: An audio device includes an audio amplifier configured to receive an input signal and generate a differential output signal. A first signal combiner circuit is configured to generate a time-convolution signal of an analog current signal and an analog voltage signal. The analog current signal corresponds to a current at the differential output signal, and the analog voltage signal corresponds to a voltage across the differential output signal. A second signal combiner circuit is configured to subtract the generated time-convolution signal from the input signal.

    Abstract: A video and/or audio decoder provided with a first terminal for supplying an analog audio and/or video signal, including: a first circuit capable of supplying a digital signal which is an image of said analog signal; a digital-to-analog converter capable of receiving as an input said digital signal; an amplifier coupling a second output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter to the first terminal; and a second circuit capable of comparing a signal representative of the voltage or current level on the first terminal with a reference signal, and of deducing therefrom whether the first terminal is connected or not to an analog input terminal of a video signal display and/or audio signal playing device.
