Abstract: Circuits and methods for testing voltage monitor circuits are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes setting voltage monitor circuits to test mode; setting, a monitor reference in each voltage monitor circuit, to a respective targeted threshold voltage using a corresponding trim code; ramping, a voltage provided to a subset of voltage monitor circuits, from a first voltage to a second voltage using a test voltage supply, voltages between the first voltage and the second voltage corresponding with targeted threshold voltages of the subset of voltage monitor circuits; determining, for each voltage monitor circuit in the subset of voltage monitor circuits, a voltage value of the test voltage supply resulting in a change in a logic state at an output of a corresponding voltage monitor circuit.

Abstract: A power conversion circuit includes a first node configured to receive a first voltage referenced to a second node configured to be coupled to a reference potential. A first power converter couples the first node to a third node. A second power converter couples a fourth node to an output node. A first capacitor couples the third node to the fourth node. A first switch connects the output node to the first node. An output switch connects the output node to a load.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for semiconductor manufacturing are described. One such method includes forming a first layer comprising a first material. A top surface of the first layer extends along a first direction and a second direction. In some cases, the method includes forming, on at least the top surface of the first layer, a second layer comprising a second material, and forming a void in the second layer. Forming the void may expose a portion of the top surface of the first layer. In some cases, the method may include forming one or more layers on a top surface of the second layer and on the exposed portion of the top surface of the first layer. The method may also include performing a material removal operation that lifts portions of the one or more layers formed on the top surface of the second layer off of the top surface.

Abstract: A method for forming an ohmic contact on a semiconductor component, for example a high-power electrical diode, is provided. An example method includes depositing a first metal layer on a top surface of a semiconductor drift layer having an electrical contact point, the first metal layer highly reflective of a laser light. The method further includes depositing a second metal layer on portions of the first metal layer aligned with the electrical contact point, the second metal layer selected to absorb the laser light. The method further includes exposing the first and the second metal layers to the laser light in a laser annealing process, causing the second metal layer to substantially increase in temperature due to the laser light. The increase in temperature of the second metal layer causing the ohmic contact to form between the electrical contact point and the first metal layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor die is mounted on a substrate having electrically conductive substrate portions. The electrically conductive substrate portions include a die mounting location and electrically conductive leads around the die mounting location. The semiconductor die is mounted on a first surface of the die mounting location. The substrate and the semiconductor die are encapsulated in an electrically insulating encapsulation having a surface opposite the first surface. An electrically conductive path is provided to electrically couple the semiconductor die to one of the electrically conductive substrate portions. The electrically conductive path includes: a first path section extending through and/or over the electrically insulating encapsulation between the electrically conductive substrate portion and an intermediate point at the surface of the electrically insulating encapsulation, and a second path section provided via wire bonding and extending between the semiconductor die and the intermediate point at the surface of the electrically insulating encapsulation.

Abstract: Described is a method for performing the execution of an application in a Secure Element (SE), comprising a host sending an APDU command to the SE comprising the application, processing at the SE the APDU command for execution by the application, performing a determined plurality of operations of the application commanded by the APDU command, the application determining among the plurality of application operations commanded by the APDU command a first set of operations to be executed by the application upon receiving the APDU command and at least a second set of operations. The SE performs the first set of operations to be executed by the application upon receiving the APDU command, performing a deferred execution of a second set of operations upon communication of completion of the execution of the first set of operations from the SE to the host.

Abstract: An integrated circuit comprises a current source, a plurality of transistors arranged in parallel, a plurality of resistors, a plurality of switches, switch control circuitry, and measurement circuitry. Each resistor is coupled with the emitter of a respective transistor. Each switch selectively couples the current source to a respective resistor such that a bias current flows from the current source to the emitter of a respective transistor when a respective switch is closed. The measurement circuitry is coupled to the first transistor between its emitter and a respective resistor. The measurement circuitry is configured to separately measure a base-emitter voltage (VBE1) of the first transistor when all of the switches are closed and a base-emitter voltage (VBE2) of the first transistor when only the switch associated with the first transistor is closed and to determine a ΔVBE by calculating a difference between VBE2 and VBE 1.

Abstract: A method of operating a time-of-flight (ToF) ranging system includes: receiving a histogram that includes a cross-talk signal generated by reflected light pulses from a cover glass of the ToF ranging system; finding, in a first region of the histogram, a first rising edge having a gradient that is larger than a threshold or is a maximum gradient in the first region, where the first rising edge is in a first histogram bin having a first value; determining a second value of a second histogram bin in the first region, where the first histogram bin precedes the second histogram bin by a pre-determined distance; estimating a ratio between the first region of the histogram and a pre-stored light pulse shape based on the first value and the second value; scaling the pre-stored light pulse shape with the estimated ratio; and subtracting the scaled pre-stored light pulse shape from the histogram.

Abstract: A method of operating a time-of-flight (ToF) ranging system includes: transmitting, by an emitter, a light signal toward one or more targets; receiving, by a ToF sensor, the light signal reflected by the one or more targets; generating a histogram based on the received light signal; estimating gradients of histogram bins of the histogram by computing differences between adjacent histogram bins; identifying one or more pulse regions in the histogram; finding, in a pulse region, a rising edge having a gradient that is larger than a pre-determined threshold or is a maximum gradient in the pulse region, where the rising edge is a leftmost rising edge in the pulse region having the gradient; fine-tuning a location of the rising edge; and computing an estimate of a distance of a target in the pulse region by adding a pre-determined offset to a distance of the rising edge.

Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a reference clock signal generator block and functional blocks. In response to a detected failure on a signal originating from a reference frequency generator of the reference clock signal generator block, only the reference frequency generator of the reference clock signal generator block, but not the functional blocks, is reset.
