    Abstract: Requests are received by a routing circuit. A plurality of first round-robin arbitration circuits are coupled to the routing circuit. There are as many first round-robin arbitration circuits as there are possible priority levels for the requests. The routing circuit operates to transmit each received request to a number of first round-robin arbitration circuits determined according to the priority level of the request. A second round-robin arbitration circuit has inputs respectively connected to the outputs of the first round-robin arbitration circuits.

    Abstract: A device includes first and second buffers fillable with contents of memory locations. A selection circuit is configured to select a filling mode between simultaneous filling of the buffers and sequential filling of the buffers. In some examples, the device can be a system on a chip that includes a non-volatile memory and a processor.

    Abstract: The following steps are performed in connection with a photodiode circuit: a) resetting the photodiode circuit; b) determining when a photodiode voltage changes in response to illumination to reach a threshold; and c) updating a counter in response to the determination in step b). The steps a) to c) are repeated until an end of a measurement period is reached. The value of the counter at the end of the measurement period is then output to indicate an intensity of the illumination.
