Abstract: An optoelectronic device for detecting volatile organic compounds is described, including a die with a semiconductor body, the die forming a MOSFET transistor and at least one photodiode. The optoelectronic device is optically couplable to an optical source that emits radiation with a spectrum at least partially overlapping the absorption spectrum range of the semiconductor body. The MOSFET transistor is planar and includes a gate region and a catalytic region that is arranged on the gate region such that, in the presence of a gas mixture including volatile organic compounds, the MOSFET transistor can be biased to generate an electrical signal indicating the overall concentration of the gas mixture. The photodiode generates a photocurrent that is a function of the concentration of one or more polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in the gas mixture.

Abstract: A half-bridge driver circuit is configured to generate drive signals based on control signals. A processing circuit is configured to generate high side and low side control signals based on a control signal. An edge detector is configured to generate first and second signals in response to rising and falling edges in the control signal. A state machine transitions between states in response to the first and second signals, and is configured to sequentially, in response to the first signal, set the high side and low side control signals low; in response to the second signal, set the high side control signal high and the low side control signal low; in response to the first signal, set the high side and low side control signals low; and in response to the second signal, set the high side control signal low and the low side control signal high.

Abstract: In an HEMT device, a gate region is formed in a wafer having a channel layer, a barrier layer, and a passivation layer, overlying each other. Drain and source electrodes are formed in the wafer, on different sides of the gate region. A dielectric layer is formed over the gate region and over the passivation layer. Selective portions of the dielectric layer are removed by a plurality of etches so as to form one or more cavities between the gate region and the drain electrode. The one or more cavities have a plurality of steps at an increasing distance from the wafer moving from the gate region to the drain electrode. The cavity is then filled with conductive material to form a field plate coupled to the source electrode, extending over the gate region, and having a surface facing the wafer and having a plurality of steps.

Abstract: A circuit for controlling a first plurality of transistors connected in parallel and a second plurality of transistors connected in parallel, includes: a first plurality of stages, a respective one of the first plurality of stages being configured to supply a first control signal to a respective one of the first plurality of transistors; and a second plurality of stages, a respective one of the second plurality of stages being configured to supply a second control signal to a respective one of the second plurality of transistors. An output current of the respective one of the first plurality of stages is regulated based on a difference between a first value representative of a sum of output currents of each stage of the first plurality of stages and a second value representative of a sum of set points assigned to the first plurality of stages.

Abstract: A method includes collecting, at a building opening, air pressure signals from a pressure sensor and sound signals from a sound sensor. The method also includes sensing pressure peaks occurring in the air pressure signals and sensing sound pulses occurring in the sound signals. A joint occurrence of a pressure peak in the air pressure signals and a sound pulse in the sound signals is indicative of an opening/closing event of the building opening.

Abstract: The current technique provides an unmanned vehicle that is capable of travelling in the air, on the ground and/or in the water. The driving force of the unmanned vehicle is provided by at least one propelling module that includes a motor, a shaft and a propeller. The propelling module is coupled to a chassis. The chassis includes one or more support elements that each couples to one or more aileron member. An aileron member is configured to tilt with or about the support element to change fluid flux about the aileron member and thus change a position of the propelling force.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor generates signal components corresponding to an uncalibrated representation of a sensed magnetic field in a three-dimensional coordinate system. A reader coupled to the magnetic field sensor determines a center offset based on received signal components, adjusts the received signal components based on the determined center offset, and applies Kalman filtering to the adjusted signal components, generating a set of ellipsoid parameters. The reader generates calibrated signal components based on the determined center offset and the generated set of ellipsoid parameters.

Abstract: A method of reducing power consumption in portable devices includes providing a sensor producing a sensing signal indicative of sensed entity and powering the sensor. Powering the sensor includes providing a first power value for a first time interval, providing a second power value for a second time interval, the second power value being different from the first power value, and discontinuing powering for a third time interval.
