Abstract: A system-on-a-chip includes at least one slave resource, a resource isolation system, and a countermeasure circuit capable of and intended to limit the operation of the system against potential anomalies, and, for the at least one slave resource, a protection circuit configured to block or transmit transactions addressed to the resource depending on access rights of the resource and of the transaction. The protection circuit is configured to generate and directly communicate an alert signal to the countermeasure circuit in the event of a transaction being blocked.

Abstract: A system for performing scan testing on a device core uses a test access port (TAP). The TAP includes a test clock (TCK) pin, a test data in (TDI) pin, and a test mode select (TMS) pin, along with a test control register (TCR) associated with it. The TCR is used to set a scan mode signal, which configures the scan flip flops within the device core for scan testing and performs the scan testing on the device core. The TCR can also be reset to exit the scan testing, with the reset being triggered by a reset circuit receiving the deassertion of both a scan enable (SE) signal and a scan input (SI) signal during the capture-phase of scan testing.

Abstract: A HEMT transistor is formed on a semiconductor body having a semiconductive heterostructure. A gate region of a semiconductor material, is arranged on the semiconductor body and has lateral sides. Sealing regions of non-conductive material extend on the lateral sides of the gate region; and a passivation layer of non-conductive material has surface portions extending on the semiconductor body, on both sides of the gate region and at a distance therefrom. The sealing regions and the passivation regions have different characteristic, such as are of different material or have different thicknesses.

Abstract: A HEMT transistor has a body having a top surface and a heterostructure, and a gate region having a semiconductor material and arranged on the top surface of the body. The gate region has a first lateral sidewall and a second lateral sidewall opposite to the first lateral sidewall. The HEMT device further has a sealing layer of non-conductive material that extends on and in contact with the first and the second lateral sidewalls of the gate region; and a passivation layer of non-conductive material that has a surface portion. The surface portion extends on the top surface of the body, laterally to the first lateral sidewall of the gate region. The sealing layer and the passivation layer have different geometrical parameters and/or are of different material.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a memory array and a memory read circuitry for reading data from the memory array. The memory read circuitry includes a leakage current compensation circuit. The leakage current compensation circuit senses the leakage current in a bitline of the memory array during a read operation and generates a leakage compensation current to offset the leakage current during the read operation.

Abstract: A first multiplier multiplies a first input with a first coefficient and a first adder sums an output of the first multiplier and a second input to generate a first output. A second multiplier multiplies a third input with a second coefficient, a third multiplier multiplies a fourth input with a third coefficient, and a second adder sums outputs of the second and third multipliers to generate a second output. The second and third inputs are derived from the first output and the first and fourth inputs are derived from the second output. The first and second outputs generate digital values for first and second digital sinusoids, respectively.

Abstract: A pressure-sensor includes a substrate with a cavity therein and a membrane suspended over the cavity. The cavity is connected to external air pressure so a change in external air pressure causes out-of-plane movement of the membrane. A frame suspended over the membrane includes a segment connected to the membrane but disconnected from other frame portions. A projection extends from the frame. A first spring is connected to the projection, a second spring is connected to the segment, and an end portion connects the springs so out-of-plane movement of the membrane applies out-of-plane force to the second spring, which is transferred to the first spring by the end portion and translated to an in-plane force by the first spring and applied to the projection. This causes lateral sliding movement of the frame with respect to the substrate. A capacitive-sensor detects sliding movement of the frame with respect to the substrate.

Abstract: A device includes memory cells wherein each memory cell has a control input that receives a pulse-width modulated control voltage and an output that delivers a current depending on the control voltage and on a weight programmed in the memory cell. A node receives, during a first time period, the currents of the memory cells. A first circuit delivers an output determined by a total quantity of current received by the node during the first time period. For each memory cell, a second circuit receives a digital word and delivers, during the first time period, the pulse-width modulated control voltage at a first level only during a second time period determined by the digital word.
