Abstract: An integrated circuit package includes a support substrate and a cover fastened on a first face of the support substrate. The cover and support substrate define a housing containing an electronic integrated circuit chip having a first face equipped with electrically conductive protruding elements. A first space between the cover and a second face of the electronic integrated circuit chip is filled with a first shape memory material in the austenitic state. A second space between each pair of electrically conductive protruding elements and electrically conductive contact pads of the support substrate is filled with a second shape memory material in the austenitic state.

Abstract: A voltage matching circuit receives a first voltage received by a connector, and outputs a second voltage. The second voltage is equal to the first voltage, if the first voltage is less than a threshold voltage. The second voltage is equal to the first voltage divided by a first factor, if the first voltage is greater than or equal to the threshold voltage.

Abstract: A system includes lighting devices coupled to output supply pins, a microcontroller circuit, and a driver circuit, which receives data therefrom, and switches coupled in series to the lighting devices. The driver circuit includes output supply pins and selectively propagates a supply voltage to the output supply pins to provide respective pulse-width modulated supply signals at the output supply pins. The driver circuit computes duty-cycle values of the pulse-width modulated supply signals as a function of the data received from the microcontroller circuit. The lighting devices include at least one subset coupled to the same output supply pin. The microcontroller individually controls the switches via respective control signals to individually adjust a brightness of the lighting devices in the at least one subset of lighting devices.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first array of image pixels having inputs coupled to first selection tracks and outputs coupled to first output tracks, a second array of test pixels having inputs coupled to second selection tracks and outputs coupled to the first output tracks, and a third array of test pixels having inputs coupled to the first selection tracks and outputs coupled to second output tracks. A processor is coupled to receive output signals on the first and second output tracks. The output signals from the test pixels of the second and third arrays are fixed at one or the other of only two values in the absence of a defect. The output signals received by the processor over the first and second output tracks are processed to determine presence or absence of a defect.

Abstract: A testing device for electronic dies includes a first support part and a second support part configured to be removably assembled with each other. The first and second support parts together define at least one housing where at least one electronic die can be arranged to be tested. The electronic die has a first surface with contacting elements. The at least one housing includes a first portion. This at least one housing is arranged to enable the at least one electronic die to occupy a first position in the housing where the first surface is spaced apart from the first portion, and is further arrange to enable the at least one electronic die to occupy a second position in the housing where the first surface bears against the first portion.
