Abstract: An IC may include a semiconductor substrate having circuitry formed in the substrate, an interconnect layer above the semiconductor substrate and having an antenna coupled to the circuitry, and a seal ring around a periphery of the interconnect layer. The IC may include an electrically insulating trench extending vertically into the semiconductor substrate and extending laterally across the semiconductor substrate from adjacent one side to adjacent another side.

Abstract: An electronic communications device includes a body of semiconductor material with an integrated electronic circuit, an inductive element, and a capacitive element. The capacitive element is formed by a first electrode and a second electrode positioned between the inductive element and the integrated electronic circuit. Tuning of the device circuitry is accomplished by energizing the inductive/capacitive elements, determining resonance frequency, and using a laser trimming operation to alter the structure of one or more of the first electrode, second electrode or inductive element and change the resonance frequency.

Abstract: An energy harvester circuit operates to harvest energy in battery-less electrical apparatus. The circuit includes a string of capacitors coupled to a circuit input to receive energy to be harvested. A string of transistors are coupled as pumping transistors to respective ones of the capacitors in the string of capacitors. A compensation coupling circuit is coupled between each transistor in the string of pumping transistors and one of a subsequent or a preceding transistor in the string of pumping transistors.

Abstract: A power supply circuit for an electrical appliance, including a turning-on stage configured for determining a transition from a turned-off state, in which the power supply circuit is off and does not supply electric power, to a turned-on state of the power supply circuit. The turning-on stage includes a transducer of the remote-control type configured for triggering the transition in response to the reception of a wireless signal. In some embodiments, operating power is transmitted from a remote controller to a control circuit of the electronic equipment, such that the electronic equipment can be turned on remotely but draws zero standby power.
