    Abstract: An image sensor includes a first photodiode with associated first sense node and a second photodiode with associated second sense node. A first transistor has its control node coupled to the first sense node and a second transistor has its control node coupled to the second sense node. The conduction paths (for example, source-drain paths) of the first and second transistors are coupled in series between first and second column lines associated with a column of the image sensor array. Switches control connection of the first and second column lines in two modes: one mode where a voltage is applied to the first column line and data from one of the photodiodes is read out by the second column line; and another mode where a voltage is applied to the second column line and data from the other of the photodiodes is read out by the first column line.

    Abstract: A method includes setting a first indicator to a first value, which causes an apparatus to stop receiving traffic from a traffic source. At least one register is accessed to read or write at least one new value, and a second indicator is set indicating that accessing of the at least one register has completed. The first indicator is set to a second value. When the first indicator has the second value and the second indicator is set, the apparatus is again allowed to receive traffic from the traffic source.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for detecting the presence of an object near a detection device, comprising: emitting pulses of an incident photon beam, detecting photodiodes which trigger avalanche after the reception by the photodiode of at least one photon of a reflected photon beam produced by a reflection of the incident beam on an object near the detection device, determining a distance between the photodiodes and an object in a detection area, as a function of the time between a transmit time of the incident beam and avalanche triggering times of the photodiodes, and correcting the distance determined as a function of a calibration measurement obtained in the absence of object in the detection area, to compensate for photon reflections on a transparent plate arranged between the photodiodes and the detection area.

    Abstract: A method and corresponding device for processing a frequency-modulated analog signal are disclosed. The signal includes a number of symbols belonging to a set of M symbols respectively associated with at least one frequency of a set of M frequencies. The method includes a phase of reading each symbol of the signal that includes a sampling of a signal portion corresponding to the duration of a symbol and delivering N samples (M being less than N). M individual discrete Fourier transform processing operations are performed on the N samples. Each individual processing operation is associated with each of the frequencies. The M individual processing operations deliver M processing results. The value of the symbol can be determined from the M processing results.
