Abstract: An electronic device includes a power supply, such as a battery, configured to supply a power supply voltage. The device further includes a controllable voltage converter circuit configured to generate a control voltage based on the power supply voltage. A near-field communication device is included that has at least one antenna configured to emit an electromagnetic field having a power that is controllable by the control voltage. The electronic device further includes a temperature measuring device configured to measure a temperature. The controllable voltage converter circuit is configured to modify a value of the control voltage based on the measured temperature.

Abstract: A connector that is configured to receive a smart card includes: a first contact configured to receive a power supply voltage and corresponding to a first (power supply) contact area of the smart card, a second contact configured to receive a reference voltage and corresponding to contact a second (reference voltage) contact area of the smart card, and a third contact corresponding to a three-state (input/output) contact area of the smart card. A first light-emitting diode having an anode coupled to the third contact and a cathode coupled to the second contact. A second light-emitting diode has a cathode coupled to the third contact and an anode coupled to the first contact. Turning on/off of the first and second light-emitting diode is controlled by the smart card through the signal at the three-state (input/output) contact area.

Abstract: The disclosure includes a method of authenticating a processor that includes an arithmetic and logic unit. At least one decoded operand of at least a portion of a to-be-executed opcode is received on a first terminal of the arithmetic and logic unit. A signed instruction is received on a second terminal of the arithmetic and logic unit. The signed instruction combines a decoded instruction of the to-be-executed opcode and a previous calculation result of the arithmetic and logic unit.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a digital-to-analog converter that includes an output amplifier configured to be powered with a controllable power supply voltage and a ground reference voltage. The output amplifier is configured to generate an analog output signal having a dynamic range centered on a common-mode voltage. The output amplifier includes a common-mode adaptation circuit configured to position a level of the common-mode voltage at a level located in a middle portion of an interval of voltages located between the power supply voltage and the ground reference voltage, according to an effective level of the power supply voltage.

Abstract: A semiconductor region includes an isolating region which delimits a working area of the semiconductor region. A trench is located in the working area and further extends into the isolating region. The trench is filled by an electrically conductive central portion that is insulated from the working area by an isolating enclosure. A cover region is positioned to cover at least a first part of the filled trench, wherein the first part is located in the working area. A dielectric layer is in contact with the filled trench. A metal silicide layer is located at least on the electrically conductive central portion of a second part of the filled trench, wherein the second part is not covered by the cover region.

Abstract: A first near-field communication device detects the presence of a second near-field communication device located within range. In response to that detection, there is an initiation of a near-field communication between the first and second devices. In case of a failure of the initiation of the near-field communication, instead an initiation of a contactless bank transaction between the first and second devices occurs.

Abstract: A closed container includes a detection device for detecting opening of or an attempt to open the container. The detection device includes a contactless passive transponder that is configured to communicate with a reader via an antenna using a carrier signal. An integrated circuit of the transponder includes two input terminals connected to the antenna and two output terminals linked by a first electrically conductive wire having a severable part which is severed in the event of an opening of or an attempted opening of the container. A shorting circuit is configured to short-circuit a first output terminal with a first input terminal in the event of a conductive repair of the severed part which forms an electrical connection between the two output terminals.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes transistor. That transistor is manufactured using a process including the following steps: forming a first gate region; depositing dielectric layers accumulating on sides of the first gate region to form regions of spacers having a width; etching to remove a part of the deposited dielectric layers accumulated on the sides of the first gate region to reduce the width of the regions of spacers; performing a first implantation of dopants aligned on the regions of spacers to form first lightly doped conduction regions of the transistor; and performing a second implanting of dopants to form first more strongly doped conduction regions of the transistor.
