Abstract: A device includes at least three memory cells. For each cell, there is a first doped semiconductor area and a switch coupling the cell to the first area. First doped semiconductor zones connect the first areas together. A memory can include a number of the devices. For example, the cells can be arranged in a matrix, each device defining a row of the matrix.

Abstract: An integrated optoelectronic or optical device is formed by a polarization-splitting grating coupler including two optical waveguides, a common optical coupler and flared optical transitions between the optical coupler and the optical waveguides. The optical coupler is configured for supporting input/output of optical waves. A first region of the optical coupler lies at a distance from the flared optical transitions. The first region includes a first recessed pattern. Second regions of the optical coupler lie between the first region and the flared optical transitions, respectively, in an adjoining relationship. The second regions include a second recessed pattern different from the first recessed pattern.

Abstract: A low-dropout regulator includes a power stage having an output terminal coupled to a load circuit operable in different operating modes in which it receives different output currents. An error amplifier has a first input coupled to a reference voltage and an output coupled to an input terminal of the power stage. A compensation circuit includes a first stage with an RC filter coupled to the input terminal of the power stage, and generating an initial compensation voltage. A second stage includes a first transistor coupled between a supply voltage and a second node, and controlled by a complementary control signal, a high-side capacitor coupled between the second node and ground, and a third transistor coupled between the initial compensation voltage and the second node, and controlled by a control signal representative of the current operating mode of the load circuit.

Abstract: The method of determination of a depth map of a scene comprises generation of a distance map of the scene obtained by time of flight measurements, acquisition of two images of the scene from two different viewpoints, and stereoscopic processing of the two images taking into account the distance map. The generation of the distance map includes generation of distance histograms acquisition zone by acquisition zone of the scene, and the stereoscopic processing includes, for each region of the depth map corresponding to an acquisition zone, elementary processing taking into account the corresponding histogram.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a module that delivers a positive temperature coefficient output voltage at an output terminal. A thermistor includes a first MOS transistor operating in weak inversion mode and having a negative temperature coefficient drain-source resistance and whose source is coupled to the output terminal. A current source coupled to the output terminal operates to impose the drain-source current of the first transistor.
