Abstract: A clock generator circuit includes an oscillator circuit coupled to a bias circuit. The bias circuit includes a current mirror, third and fourth transistors, and a cascode transistor. The current mirror includes a reference transistor and a set of copy transistors that are programmable. The third transistor has a source connected to a cold spot, a drain and a gate connected to this drain. The fourth transistor has a source connected to the drain of the third transistor, a drain, and a gate connected to that drain. The cascode transistor has a source connected to a drain of at least one of the copy transistors, a drain, and a gate connected to the gate of the fourth transistor. The gates of the fourth transistor and the cascode transistor are thicker than the gates of the reference transistor, each copy transistor, and the third transistor.

Abstract: System, method, and circuitry for simulating a memory architecture to generate a bin image of a file tree for a memory embedded on a programmable computing device. A memory configuration of the memory and a file tree identifying a file structure to be used in the memory are obtained. A bin image of a file system for the memory is generated based on the memory configuration and the file tree using a memory simulator and a file-management-system manager. The bin image is provided to the programmable computing device for storage in the memory.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a near-field communication module and a powering circuit for delivering a power supply voltage to the near-field communication module. When the near-field communication module is in a low power mode, the powering circuit is configured for an operational mode where it is periodically started to provide the power supply voltage.

Abstract: A near-field communication circuit of a first NFC device alternates, in low power mode, between: first phases of emission of field bursts and second phases spanning an entire duration separating two successive first phases. Each second phase includes a field detector enabling phase. In one implementation, the field detector enabling phase extends all along a duration of the second phase. In an alternate implementation, the field detector enabling phase is interrupted by field detector disabling phases. Each field detector disabling phase has a duration shorter than a minimum duration of each first phase.

Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a first electronic component formed above a buried insulating layer of a substrate and a second electronic component formed under the buried insulating layer. The insulating layer is thoroughly crossed by a semiconductor well. The semiconductor well electrically couples a terminal of the first electronic component to a terminal of the second electronic component.

Abstract: Methods and devices for adjusting a read threshold voltage of bitlines are provided. One such method includes adjusting a read threshold voltage of bitlines coupled to memory points of a memory circuit. The read threshold voltage is initially set to a first value. First data are written in the memory points and second data are read from the memory points. The second data are compared to the first data, and the threshold voltage is decreased by a second value in response to a comparison error of one of the second data with the corresponding first data.

Abstract: A method for determining a distance offset between a depth map of an indirect time-of-flight measurement device and a reference ground truth map includes emitting emission optical radiation by an emission circuit of the indirect time-of-flight measurement device. The emission optical radiation is sequentially modulating by N modulation frequencies. N is greater than or equal to three. The method further includes receiving, by a reception circuit of the indirect time-of-flight measurement device, reception optical radiation generated by the emission optical radiation reflected off objects of a scene and by optical crosstalk between the emission optical radiation and the reception optical radiation, and estimating the distance offset based on the reception optical radiation.
