    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a system includes an oscillator equipped circuit having an oscillator control circuit configured to be coupled to an external oscillator and a processing unit comprising a clock controller. The clock controller includes an interface circuit configured to exchange handshake signals with the oscillator control circuit, a security circuit configured to receive the external oscillator clock signal and configured to select the external oscillator clock signal as the system clock, and a detection block configured to detect a failure in the external oscillator clock signal. Upon detection of the failure, a different clock signal is selected as the system clock and the interface circuit to interrupts a propagation of the external oscillator.

    Abstract: A digital processor, such as, e.g., a divider in a PID controller, performs a mathematical operation such as division (or multiplication) involving operands represented by strings of bit signals and an operator to produce an operation result. The processor is configured by identifying first and second power-of-two approximating values of the operator as the nearest lower and nearest higher power-of-two values to the operator. The operation is performed on the input operands by means of the first and second power-of-two approximating values of the operator by shifting the bit signals in the operands by using the first and second power-of-two approximating values in an alternated sequence to produce: first approximate results by using the first power-of-two approximating value, second approximate results by using the second power-of-two approximating value. The average of the first and second approximate results is representative of the accurate result of the operation.

    Abstract: A communication interface couples a transmission circuit with an interconnection network. The transmission circuit requests transmission of a predetermined amount of data. The communication interface receives data segments from the transmission circuit, stores the data segments in a memory, and verifies whether the memory contains the predetermined amount of data. In the case where the memory contains the predetermined amount of data, the communication interface starts transmission of the data stored in the memory. Alternatively, in the case where the memory contains an amount of data less than the predetermined amount of data, the communication interface determines a parameter that identifies the time that has elapsed since the transmission request or the first datum was received from the aforesaid transmission circuit, and verifies whether the time elapsed exceeds a time threshold. In the case where the time elapsed exceeds the time threshold, the communication interface starts transmission of the data stored in the memory.

    Abstract: A communication system for interfacing a transmitting circuit with a receiving circuit includes a transmission interface for receiving data from the transmitting circuit and transmitting the data received over at least one data line in response to a transmission clock signal. The communication system also includes a reception interface configured for receiving the data in response to a reception clock signal and transmitting the data received to the receiving circuit. In particular, the system is configured for generating a plurality of clock signals that have the same frequency but are phase-shifted with respect to one another. In addition, during a calibration phase, the system is configured for selecting one of the clock signals for the transmission clock signal or reception clock signal via selecting at least one of the clock signals for transmission of test signals via the transmission interface and verifying whether the test signals received via the reception interface are correct. The system is further configured to use, during normal operation, the clock signal selected during the calibration phase for transmission of data.
