Abstract: A device for controlling a first voltage with a second voltage includes a first terminal of application of the second voltage and a second terminal for supplying the first voltage. A comparator has a first input terminal connected to the first terminal and has a second input terminal receiving information representative of the first voltage. At least one first current source of programmable intensity is connected to the second input terminal of the comparator.

Abstract: A band-gap circuit for generating a bandgap reference signal includes a first bipolar transistor and a second bipolar transistor of a same type among PNP and NPN types. The first and second bipolar transistors are configured to generate a current varying proportionally with the temperature. A capacitor is connected between a base and an emitter of one or both of the first and second bipolar transistors.

Abstract: A method for controlling a signal envelope shape of modulation pulses in a driver of a wireless transmitter includes supplying a first voltage to the driver during a non-modulated state, supplying a second voltage configurable by a configurable modulation index value to the driver during a modulated state, switching between the non-modulated state and the modulated state comprising setting the modulation index value to configure the second voltage level at the same level as the first voltage and then switching between supplying the first voltage to the driver and supplying the second voltage to the driver, and filtering to a limited bandwidth the variations of the second voltage resulting from configuring the modulation index value.

Abstract: A power supply system includes a voltage application source, and a switched mode power supply having an output coupled to the voltage application source through a first path and through a second path different from the first path. A first node is coupled to the output of the switched mode power supply, the switched mode power supply being configured to couple the first node to the voltage application source through the first path in a first operating mode and through the second path in a different second operating mode. A digital regulator is coupled to the first node. A digital circuit is coupled to an output of the digital regulator. An analog regulator is coupled to the first node and an analog circuit coupled to an output of the analog regulator.

Abstract: An embodiment driver circuit comprises a power supply pin configured to receive a power supply voltage, and a set of control pins configured to provide a set of control signals for controlling switching of a set of switches of an h-bridge circuit comprising a pair of high-side switches and a pair of low-side switches. The driver circuit comprises control circuitry coupled to the control pins and configured to generate the control signals, and sensing circuitry coupled to the power supply pin and configured to generate a detection signal indicative of the power supply voltage exceeding a threshold value. The control circuitry is sensitive to the detection signal and is configured to generate the control signals to activate one of the pair of high-side switches and the pair of low-side switches and de-activate the other of the pair of high-side switches and the pair of low-side switches.

Abstract: A datum is written to a memory, by splitting a binary word, representative of the datum and an error correcting or detecting code, into a first part and a second part. The first part is written at a logical address in a first memory circuit. The second part is written at the logical address in a second memory circuit. The error correcting or detecting code is dependent on both the datum and the logical address.
