Abstract: A circuit for reading or writing a RAM includes a shift register coupled to the RAM, a test data input, and a test data output. The circuit further includes a control circuit configured to generate a pulse every N clock cycles, each pulse triggering a RAM access operation transferring data between the shift register and the RAM, N being equal to a data width of the RAM divided by a parallel factor, the parallel factor being a number of pins in either the test data input or the test data output configured for parallel data loading.

Abstract: A device includes a set of processing circuits arranged in subsets, a set of data memory banks coupled to a memory controller, a control unit, and an interconnect network. The processing circuits are configurable to read first input data from the data memory banks via the interconnect network and the memory controller, process the first input data to produce output data, and write the output data into the data memory banks via the interconnect network and the memory controller. The hardware accelerator device includes a set of configurable lock-step control units which interface the processing circuits to the interconnect network. Each configurable lock-step control unit is coupled to a subset of processing circuits and is selectively activatable to operate in a first operation mode, or in a second operation mode.

Abstract: A read circuit for capacitive sensors such as a MEMS microphones includes a sensor node configured to be coupled to a capacitive sensor to apply a bias voltage to the sensor and sense the capacitance value of the sensor wherein the voltage at the sensor node is indicative of the capacitance value of the capacitive sensor. A switch is provided between the sensor node and the intermediate node. A shock detector coupled to the sensor node and the switch asserts a shock signal to make the switch conductive in response to a shock applied to the capacitive sensor, and de-asserts the shock signal to make the switch non-conductive with a delay after the end of the shock applied to the capacitive sensor.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for controlling a synchronous rectifier (SR) transistor of a flyback converter includes: determining a first voltage across conduction terminals of the SR transistor; asserting a turn-on signal when a body diode of the SR transistor is conducting current; asserting a turn-off signal when current flowing through the conduction terminals of the SR transistor decreases below a first threshold; generating a gating signal based on an output voltage of the flyback converter and on the first voltage; turning on the SR transistor based on the turn-on signal and on the gating signal; and turning off the SR transistor based on the turn-off signal.

Abstract: A processing system comprising a first sub-circuit configured to be powered by a first supply voltage and a second sub-circuit configured to be powered by a second supply voltage. The first sub-circuit comprises a general-purpose input/output register. The second sub-circuit comprises: a storage circuit configured to selectively store configuration data from the general-purpose input/output register; an input/output interface, at least one peripheral and a selection circuits to exchange signals of the peripherals, and the stored configuration data with the input/output interface. A power management circuit is configured to manage a normal operating mode, and a low-power mode during which the configuration data are maintained stored and the first sub-circuit is switched off. The power management circuit activates the low-power mode in response to receiving a commands, and resumes the normal operating mode in response to a wake-up events.
