    Abstract: In an embodiment, a circuit includes a supply terminal, a reference terminal, a logic circuit coupled between the supply terminal and the reference terminal, and an auxiliary circuit coupled to the logic circuit. The auxiliary circuit includes a plurality of switches configured to be controlled to produce random criterions. Each random criterion causes, on each transition of an output signal of the logic, an attenuation of a current flowing between a supply terminal of the circuit and a reference terminal of the circuit; or an increase of the current flowing between the supply terminal of the circuit and the reference terminal of the circuit; or an additional current flowing through the logic circuit on a current path not passing through the supply terminal; or no change in the current flowing between the supply terminal of the circuit and the reference terminal of the circuit.

    Abstract: A capacitive element of an integrated circuit includes first and second electrodes. The first electrode is formed by a first electrically conductive layer located above a semiconductor well doped with a first conductivity type. The second electrode is formed by a second electrically conductive layer located above the first electrically conductive layer of the semiconductor well. The second electrode is further formed by a doped surface region within the semiconductor well that is heavily doped with a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type, wherein the doped surface region is located under the first electrically conductive layer. An inter-electrode dielectric area electrically separates the first electrode and the second electrode.

    Abstract: An amplification circuit includes a first group of amplifiers including N first amplifiers, a second group of amplifiers including K second amplifiers, a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal. Each of the N first amplifiers and each of the K second amplifiers includes an output. The second group of amplifiers is divided into a first subassembly of amplifiers and a second subassembly of amplifiers. The first subassembly includes M second amplifiers of the second group. The second subassembly includes K-M remaining second amplifiers of the second group. The first terminal is coupled to each output of the N first amplifiers and to a first radio frequency output terminal. The second terminal is coupled to each output of the M second amplifiers. The third terminal is coupled to each output of the K-M second remaining amplifiers and to a second radio frequency output terminal.
