Abstract: A device for controlling a first voltage with a second voltage includes a first terminal of application of the second voltage and a second terminal for supplying the first voltage. A comparator has a first input terminal connected to the first terminal and has a second input terminal receiving information representative of the first voltage. At least one first current source of programmable intensity is connected to the second input terminal of the comparator.

Abstract: A diode control device include a first terminal for receiving a first power supply voltage and a second terminal for receiving a second power supply voltage. A circuit of the diode control device applies a regulated voltage on the anode of the diode in response to a control voltage. The control voltage is equal to a preset voltage when a reference voltage is less than or equal to zero. Conversely, when the reference voltage is greater than zero, the control voltage is equal to the sum of the present voltage and a difference between cathode voltage of the diode and the reference voltage.

Abstract: A power supply system includes a voltage application source, and a switched mode power supply having an output coupled to the voltage application source through a first path and through a second path different from the first path. A first node is coupled to the output of the switched mode power supply, the switched mode power supply being configured to couple the first node to the voltage application source through the first path in a first operating mode and through the second path in a different second operating mode. A digital regulator is coupled to the first node. A digital circuit is coupled to an output of the digital regulator. An analog regulator is coupled to the first node and an analog circuit coupled to an output of the analog regulator.
