Abstract: A method can be used to make a semiconductor device. A number of projecting regions are formed over a first semiconductor layer that has a first conductivity type. The first semiconductor layer is located on an insulating layer that overlies a semiconductor substrate. The projecting regions are spaced apart from each other. Using the projecting regions as an implantation mask, dopants having a second conductivity type are implanted into the first semiconductor layer, so as to form a sequence of PN junctions forming diodes in the first semiconductor layer. The diodes vertically extend from an upper surface of the first semiconductor layer to the insulating layer.

Abstract: An algorithm execution method includes carrying out a first execution of the algorithm by a processing unit, sending at least one first result, which is to be written into a memory, to a memory management circuit, and storing said first result into a first area of the volatile memory. The method also includes carrying out a second execution of the algorithm by the processing unit, sending at least one second result, which is to be written into the memory, to the memory management circuit, and applying, by means of the memory management circuit, a different processing for the at least one second result in the second execution than was applied for the at least one first results in the first execution.

Abstract: A logic two-to-one multiplexer includes: two input terminals; one output terminal; a control terminal. Four series-connected two-to-one multiplexers are connected such that a first multiplexer has its inputs connected to the input terminals, a last multiplexer has its output connected to the output terminal, and the other multiplexers have their respective inputs interconnected to the output of the previous multiplexer in the series association. Half of the multiplexers are controlled in reverse with respect to the other half of the multiplexers.

Abstract: A read-amplifier circuit includes a core with a first input and a second input that are intended to receive in a measurement phase a differential signal arising from a first bit line and from a second bit line of the memory device. The circuit also includes a memory element with two inverters coupled in a crossed manner. The first and second inputs are respectively connected to two of the power supply nodes of the inverters via two transfer capacitors. A first controllable circuit is configured to temporarily render the memory element floating during an initial phase preceding the measurement phase and during the measurement phase.

Abstract: A method can be used for writing in a memory location of the electrically-erasable and programmable memory type. The memory location includes a first memory cell with a first transistor having a first gate dielectric underlying a first floating gate and a second memory cell with a second transistor having a second gate dielectric underlying a second floating gate that is connected to the first floating gate. In a first writing phase, an identical tunnel effect is implemented through the first gate dielectric and the second gate dielectric. In a second writing phase, a voltage across the first gate dielectric but not the second gate dielectric is increased.

Abstract: The non-volatile memory device comprises memory cells each comprising a selectable state transistor having a floating gate and a control gate. The state transistor is of the depletion-mode type and is advantageously configured so as to have a threshold voltage that is preferably negative when the memory cell is in a virgin state. When the memory cell is read, a read voltage of zero may then be applied to the control gate and also to the control gates of the state transistors of all the memory cells of the memory device.

Abstract: A memory device includes an input/output interface, a bus of SPI type coupled to the input/output interface, and a plurality of individual non-volatile memory devices connected to the bus of SPI type. The chip select inputs of each individual memory device are all connected to one and the same chip select wire of the SPI bus. The individual memory devices are further configured and controllable so as to behave, as seen by the input/output interface, as a single non-volatile memory device, the total memory space of which has a total memory capacity equal to the sum of the individual memory capacities of the individual devices.
