Abstract: In an embodiment, an electronic device for filtering an incoming digital signal includes several elementary filtering modules that include an elementary input configured to receive an incident elementary signal extracted from an incoming signal, an elementary output, and a dedicated capacitive circuit. The device further includes a resistive circuit common to all the elementary filtering modules and configured for cooperating with the capacitive circuit of each elementary filtering module in such a manner as to filter, on the respective elementary output, pulses of the incident elementary signal having a first voltage level and a duration less than a time constant and to deliver a filtered elementary signal on the elementary output.

Abstract: A memory sense amplifier is configurable on command between a current-sensing mode and a voltage-sensing mode. The sense amplifier is intended, in its current-sensing configuration, to read a datum stored in a memory cell connected to the amplifier, and is intended, in its voltage-sensing configuration, to read a datum stored in a bit-line latch connected to the amplifier.

Abstract: A memory cell includes a source region and a drain region disposed in a semiconductor body. A channel region is disposed in the semiconductor body between the source region and the drain region. A floating gate is disposed between the semiconductor body and the control gate. The floating gate includes a protruding portion that is located over the channel region between the source and drain regions and spaced therefrom. The protruding portion is separated from the channel region by a first insulating layer that is thinner than a second insulating layer that separates remaining portions of the floating gate from the channel region.

Abstract: A method can be used for writing in a memory location of the electrically-erasable and programmable memory type. The memory location includes a first memory cell with a first transistor having a first gate dielectric underlying a first floating gate and a second memory cell with a second transistor having a second gate dielectric underlying a second floating gate that is connected to the first floating gate. In a first writing phase, an identical tunnel effect is implemented through the first gate dielectric and the second gate dielectric. In a second writing phase, a voltage across the first gate dielectric but not the second gate dielectric is increased.
