Abstract: Several first digital streams of first digital samples at a first sampling frequency are processed to issue corresponding stream that are converted into second digital streams sampled at a second sampling frequency lower than said first sampling frequency. At least one delay to be applied to at least one first digital stream to satisfy a condition on the second digital streams is determined and applied to at least one first digital stream before converting. The converting operation performed is decimation filtering of the first digital streams. The application of the at least one delay to at least one first steam involves skipping a number of first digital samples in the at least one first digital stream. The number skipped depends on the value of the at least one delay. Samples that are skipped are not delivered for decimation filtering.

Abstract: A method includes: writing first data in a first partition of a first memory module and second data in a first partition of a second memory module, and selectively operating the first and second memory modules in a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The first operating mode includes writing parity bits for the first data in a second partition of the second memory module and parity bits for the second data in a second partition of the first memory module. The second operating mode includes writing further data instead of parity bits in the second partition of one or both the first memory module and the second memory module.

Abstract: A voltage regulator is controlled to improve supply voltage rejection by cancelling an alternating component of a supply voltage signal that is capacitively coupled to a high-impedance node within the voltage regulator. This cancellation is done by capacitively coupling an inverted version of the alternating component to the high-impedance node to thereby substantially cancel the alternating component present on the high-impedance node. The high-impedance node may be a high-impedance voltage reference node of the voltage regulator.

Abstract: A voltage regulator includes an input terminal to receive an input voltage, an output terminal to supply an output voltage, a power transistor, a differential amplifier, a driver, a dropout detector and a bias current limiter. The differential amplifier provides a drive signal based on a difference between a voltage reference and a feedback signal corresponding to the output voltage. The driver includes an impedance device, and a driver transistor that receives the drive signal so as to vary a bias current to a control terminal of the power transistor. The dropout detector and the bias current limiter is coupled to the input terminal, the impedance device, and the output terminal and includes first and second transistors coupled together, and a bias current generator coupled to the second transistor.

Abstract: A circuit includes a first and a second memory, a processor and a timer. The processor generates a sequence of bits encoding a CAN frame and processes the sequence of bits to detect a sequence of PWM periods. The processor stores values of a first parameter of the PWM periods into the first memory, and values of a second parameter of the PWM periods into the second memory. The timer comprises a first register which reads from the first memory a value of the first parameter of a current PWM period. The timer comprises a counter which increases a count number and resets the count number as a function of the value of the first register.

Abstract: A MOSFET has a current conduction path between source and drain terminals. A gate terminal of the MOSFET receives an input signal to facilitate current conduction in the current conduction path as a result of a gate-to-source voltage reaching a threshold voltage. A body terminal of the MOSFET is coupled to body voltage control circuitry that is sensitive to the voltage at the gate terminal of the MOSFET. The body voltage control circuitry responds to a reduction in the voltage at the gate terminal of the MOSFET by increasing the body voltage of the MOSFET at the body terminal of the MOSFET. As a result, there is reduction in the threshold voltage. The circuit configuration is applicable to amplifier circuits, comparator circuits and current mirror circuits.

Abstract: A control circuit for a voltage source generates a reference signal for a voltage source, wherein the reference signal indicates a requested output voltage to be generated by the voltage source. A digital feed-forward control circuit computes a digital feed-forward regulation value indicative of a requested output voltage by determining a maximum voltage drop at strings of solid-state light sources. A digital feed-back control circuit determines a minimum voltage drop for current regulators/limiters for the strings and determines a digital feed-back correction value as a function of the minimum voltage drop. The control circuit then sets the reference signal after a start-up as a function of the digital feed-forward regulation value and corrects the reference signal as a function of the digital feed-back correction value.
