    Abstract: A converter includes two switching stages coupled in series between positive and negative input terminals. A control circuit is configured for driving the switching stages based on an output voltage of the converter. A first switching stage includes two switches coupled in series between a positive input terminal and a first node. A capacitor and an inductor are coupled in series between the two switches and a positive output terminal. A third switch is coupled between a node between the capacitor and the inductor and the negative input terminal. A second capacitor is coupled between the first node and the negative input terminal. A second switching stage includes a second node coupled to the first node. Two additional electronic switches are coupled in series between the second node and the negative input terminal. A second inductor is coupled between the two additional switches and the positive output terminal.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes: receiving an audio frame; decomposing the received audio frame into M sub-band pulse-code modulation (PCM) audio frames, where M is a positive integer number; predicting a PCM sample of one sub-band PCM audio frame of the M sub-band PCM audio frames; comparing the predicted PCM sample with a corresponding received PCM sample to generate a prediction error sample; comparing an instantaneous absolute value of the prediction error sample with a threshold; and replacing the corresponding received PCM sample with a value based on the predicted PCM sample when the instantaneous absolute value of the prediction error sample is greater than the threshold.

    Abstract: A tensile stress measurement device is to be attached to an object to be measured. The tensile stress measurement device may include an IC having a semiconductor substrate and tensile stress detection circuitry, the semiconductor substrate having opposing first and second attachment areas. The tensile stress measurement device may include a first attachment plate coupled to the first attachment area and extending outwardly to be attached to the object to be measured, and a second attachment plate coupled to the second attachment area and extending outwardly to be attached to the object to be measured. The tensile stress detection circuitry may be configured to detect a tensile stress imparted on the first and second attachment plates when attached to the object to be measured.
