    Abstract: A method of measuring the phase of a response signal relative to a periodic excitation signal, comprises the steps of producing for each cycle of the response signal two transitions synchronized to a clock and framing a reference point of the cycle; swapping the two transitions to confront them in turns to the cycles of the response signal; measuring the offsets of the confronted transitions relative to the respective reference points of the cycles; performing a delta-sigma modulation of the swapping rate of the two transitions based on the successive offsets; and producing a phase measurement based on the duty cycle of the swapping rate.

    Abstract: A circuit includes an amplifier having a first power terminal configured to be coupled to a supply voltage and a second power terminal configured to be coupled to a reference potential. The circuit further includes a first impedance element coupled between a first input terminal of the amplifier and a first output terminal of the amplifier. The circuit additionally includes a second impedance element coupled between the first input terminal and the reference potential. The amplifier is configured to output a first voltage at a second output terminal of the amplifier in response to the supply voltage being greater than an output voltage at the first output terminal of the amplifier. The amplifier is further configured to output a second voltage at the second output terminal of the amplifier in response to the supply voltage being less than the output voltage at the first output terminal of the amplifier.

    Abstract: A microchip has a rear face attached to a front mounting face of a support plate. An encapsulation cover for the microchip is mounted to the support plate. The encapsulation cover includes a front wall, a peripheral wall extending from the front wall and an inside partition extending from the front wall and between opposite sides of the peripheral wall. The inside partition passes locally above the microchip to delimit two cavities. A bonding material is interposed between encapsulation cover and the support plate and microchip. An end part of the inside partition of the cover, adjacent to the front face of the microchip, include an accumulation and containment recess that is configured to at least partly receive the bonding material.

    Abstract: A three dimensional (3D) device is formed from a first level and a second level that are attached together. The first level includes a backside illuminated two dimensional (2D) image sensor including an array of first pixels sensitive to visible light. The second level includes a frontside illuminated depth sensor including an array of second pixels sensitive to near infrared light. The first and second levels are attached in a manner such that radiation, in particular the near infrared light, received at the backside of the first level passes through the first level to reach the depth sensor in the second level.

    Abstract: Control over the operation of an electrically-controlled motor is supported by an interface circuit between the electrically-controlled motor and a near-field radio frequency communication controller. The interface circuit includes a first circuit that receives at least one control set point through a near-field radio frequency communication issued by the near-field radio frequency communication controller. A second circuit of the interface generates one or more electric signals in pulse width modulation based on the control set point.
