Abstract: Methods and systems for checking the integrity of a system on chip (SOC) are described. The SOC can include a controller and one or more registers. Register value(s) from the register(s) can be obtained at a first time to generate a first set of register values. Process(es) of the SOC are executed at a second time after the first time. Register values can again be obtained from the registers at a third time after the second time to generate a second set of register values. The first set of register values can be compared with the second set of register values. Based on the comparison, an operating mode of the SOC can be adjusted. The SOC integrity verification system and method can be used in safety and/or monitoring application(s), such as ASIL applications. For example, the system and method can be used in partial or fully autonomous (self-driving) automotive systems.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a circuitry configured to generate a voltage is provided. The circuitry may include a sequence generator configured to provide a sequence of data words consisting of bits. The number of bits is greater than two. The circuitry may further include a delta-sigma modulator configured to receive the sequence of data words provided by the sequence generator and to provide a delta-sigma modulated first single bit data stream at a first data rate, and a decimation filter configured to generate a stream of decimated data words from the first single bit data stream at a second data rate. The second data rate may be smaller than the first data rate, each decimated data word including a plurality of bits. The circuitry may further include a parallel-to-serial converter configured to convert the decimated data words to a second single bit data stream while preserving the second data rate.

Abstract: A current driving system for a solenoid valve is described herein. In an embodiment, the current driving system comprises a pre-driver to control a control input of a transistor coupled to an electrical input of a solenoid valve. The transistor inducts electric power into the solenoid valve when the transistor is switched on.The current driving system further comprises a signal generator to produce a small signal and to output the small signal to the electrical input of the solenoid valve. The electric power being supplied by the small signal into the solenoid valve is substantially smaller than the electric power being supplied by the transistor when the transistor is switched on. The current driving system further comprises a measurement unit to measure a response to the small signal at the electrical input of the solenoid valve.

Abstract: According to an example, an electronic device includes a component, a supply line providing a supply voltage, a transistor with a control input, a linear first control loop, and a non-linear second control loop. The transistor outputs an output voltage to the component depending on a signal applied to the control input. The linear first control loop includes an ADC to convert an analog output voltage level into a digital measurement signal, a controller to generate a digital control signal for the transistor depending on the digital measurement signal, and a DAC to convert the digital control signal into a first analog control signal. The non-linear second control loop is configured to generate a second analog control signal depending on the analog output voltage level. The second analog control signal is superimposed with the first analog control signal and the combined control signals are fed to the control input of the transistor.
