    Abstract: A device includes a master device, a set of slave devices and a bus. The master device is configured to transmit first messages carrying a set of operation data message portions indicative of operations for implementation by slave devices of the set of slave devices, and second messages addressed to slave devices in the set of slave devices. The second messages convey identifiers identifying respective ones of the slave devices to which the second messages are addressed requesting respective reactions towards the master device within respective expected reaction intervals. The slave devices are configured to receive the first messages transmitted from the master device, read respective operation data message portions in the set of operation data message portions, implement respective operations as a function of the respective operation data message portions read, and receive the second messages transmitted from the master device.

    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: The reversal of the flow of output current in a voltage regulator is prevented by equipping the voltage regulator of a regulation transistor controlled by an analog voltage control, having its current terminals connected between the control terminal of the fifth transistor power of the regulator and the power supply line or the common ground node of the regulator. The regulation transistor is configured to provide an electrical path of conduction between the control terminal and the power supply line or the ground node and is controlled by an analog voltage control that varies in a continuous manner between a first level, suitable to extinguish the regulation transistor, and a second level suitable for biasing it in an operating condition of deep conduction, as the difference between the supply voltage and the regulated output voltage approaching an offset voltage.
