    Abstract: A voltage multiplier for relatively high output current has its design output voltage stabilized and rendered independent of process spread, temperature, supply voltage and output current level, by a stabilization loop driving the switch that cyclically connects to ground a charge transfer capacitance of the functional voltage multiplier circuit. The feedback loop comprises an integrating stage, stabilized by creating a low-frequency zero in the transfer function for compensating one of two low-frequency poles of the transfer function of the whole circuit.

    Abstract: The PLA, which implements a state machine of a nonvolatile memory, presents a dynamic NAND-NOT-NOR configuration, and the timing signals for correct reading of the PLA are generated by a clock generator which generates a monostable succession of read enabling signals on receiving a predetermined switching edge of an external clock signal. The clock generator enables evaluation of the AND and OR planes of the PLA and subsequently storage of the results through sections duplicating the propagation delays of the signals in the corresponding parts of the PLA. Reading is terminated as soon as completion of the storage step is indicated, so that reading of the PLA lasts only as long as strictly necessary, thus preventing erroneous switching while at the same time ensuring correct reading of the PLA.

    Abstract: A current source including a current mirror circuit and an active load circuit which form a reference branch, for setting a reference current value, and a mirroring branch, defining an output current value, connected between supply and ground. A voltage stabilizing transistor is interposed between the current mirror circuit and the load circuit in the reference branch only, and is so biased as to maintain its gate terminal at a predetermined voltage. As such, the potential with respect to ground of the drain terminal of the reference branch load transistor is fixed, so that its drain-source voltage drop (and the current through it) is substantially independent of supply voltage. The current source may be used to advantage in an oscillator for generating the: clock signal of a nonvolatile memory.

    Abstract: The contrasting requirements of low power consumption during operation and ability to function under drastic drops of the supply voltage at start-up of output power stages of an electric system of self-generation and recharge of a storage battery, are satisfied by an output power driving stage composed of a bipolar transistor and a field effect transistor, functionally connected in parallel to each other and having independent control terminals. A control signal is selectably switched either to the base of the bipolar output transistor or to the gate of the field effect output transistor, depending on the level of the supply voltage. A comparator comparing the voltage present on the supply node with a reference voltage controls a selection switch. The low threshold of the bipolar transistor ensures functioning at start-up, while the field effect transistor provides a low power consumption during normal running conditions.
