Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator includes a quantizer, a signal propagation path including a plurality of cascaded integrators coupled between the input node and the quantizer, and a feedback network including a plurality of digital-to-analog converters. In a calibration mode of operation, a first digital-to-analog converter of the plurality of digital-to-analog converters of the feedback network receives a signal including a periodic alternated digital sequence, the first digital-to-analog converter being coupled to a first integrator of the plurality of cascaded integrators, integrators of the plurality of cascaded integrators other than the first integrator operate in a gain mode of operation, the delta-sigma modulator generates a digital test signal at an output of the quantizer based on the signal including the periodic alternated digital sequence, and calibration circuitry generates a calibration signal based on the digital test signal and a reference digital word.

Abstract: A control circuit for a driving an electronic switch associated with a switching node of a flyback converter includes a comparison circuit configured to generate a switch-off signal by comparing a current measurement signal with a current measurement threshold signal. A valley detection circuit is configured to generate a trigger in a trigger signal when a valley signal indicates a valley in a voltage at the switching node of the flyback converter, and a blanking circuit is configured to generate a switch-on signal by combining the trigger signal with a timer signal provide by a timer circuit. The timer signal indicates whether a blanking time-interval has elapsed.

Abstract: A method of managing an integrated circuit memory includes having an integrated circuit card with a memory space including memory space regions for storing user profile data. The memory space is partitioned into segments of memory space regions, where the segments of memory space regions includes allocated regions and empty regions. From the empty regions, the biggest empty region of the memory space is selected. The selected biggest empty region is widened by moving memory blocks positioned in a subset of allocated regions that are at boundaries of the selected biggest empty region into other available empty regions.

Abstract: An image processing system has one or more memories and image processing circuitry coupled to the one or more memories. The image processing circuitry, in operation, compares a first image to feature data in a comparison image space using a matching model. The comparing includes: unwarping keypoints in keypoint data of the first image; and comparing the unwarped keypoints and descriptor data associated with the first image to the feature data of the comparison image. The image processing circuitry determines whether the first image matches the comparison image based on the comparing.

Abstract: A memory array arranged in multiple columns and rows. Computation circuits that each calculate a computation value from cell values in a corresponding column. A column multiplexer cycles through multiple data lines that each corresponds to a computation circuit. Cluster cycle management circuitry determines a number of multiplexer cycles based on a number of columns storing data of a compute cluster. A sensing circuit obtains the computation values from the computation circuits via the column multiplexer as the column multiplexer cycles through the data lines. The sensing circuit combines the obtained computation values over the determined number of multiplexer cycles. A first clock may initiate the multiplexer to cycle through its data lines for the determined number of multiplexer cycles, and a second clock may initiate each individual cycle. The multiplexer or additional circuitry may be utilized to modify the order in which data is written to the columns.

Abstract: An embodiment pointing method to generate screen-frame displacement data based on 3D-space movements of a pointing electronic device, comprises receiving a gravity vector (g), having components (gx, gy, gz) corresponding to respective projections of gravity acceleration ({right arrow over (g)}) on three axes (X, Y, Z) of a 3D reference system associated with the pointing electronic device, generated by a sensor-fusion algorithm from joint processing of an acceleration signal, indicative of acceleration acting on the pointing electronic device along the three axes, and of a gyroscope signal (Gyro), indicative of angular rate of rotation of the pointing electronic device around the three axes. The method further comprises implementing a roll-compensation of the gyroscope signal (Gyro) as a function of the gravity vector (g) to determine a roll-compensated gyroscope signal (Gyro′); and generating the screen-frame displacement data based on the roll-compensated gyroscope signal (Gyro′).
