    摘要: According to an embodiment, a time of flight sensor device includes: a semiconductor substrate having a conversion region to convert an electromagnetic signal into photo-generated charge carriers, and including a substrate doping region having a n-doping type. The substrate doping region extends from a first main surface region of the semiconductor substrate into the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate has a p doped region adjacent to the substrate doping region. The substrate doping region at least partially forms the conversion region in the semiconductor substrate. A readout node arranged in the semiconductor substrate within the substrate doping region and having the n-doping type is configured to readout the photo generated charge carriers. A control electrode is arranged in the substrate doping region of the semiconductor substrate and in the substrate doping region and has a p-doping type.

    摘要: An example circuit includes a coil structure located on at least a first layer of an integrated circuit (IC); and a circuit component comprising conduction paths. The conduction paths are located on one or more layers separate from the first layer and the first layer and the one or more layers form parallel planes. The conduction paths of the circuit component are oriented to avoid eddy currents in the conduction paths caused by an electric current through the coil structure and form a patterned shield. At least some of the conduction paths define an area, and the coil structure is located within the defined area.

    摘要: A network node may receive a control plane message. The control plane message may include an indication that the control plane message is a control plane message, an indication that the control plane message is associated with security, an indication of a security key to be associated with a secure zone (SZ) of an in-vehicle communication network, and an indication of a freshness value. The network node may perform a cryptographic operation for a data plane message associated with the SZ using the security key.

    摘要: Circuits, devices and systems that include a low voltage test for common mode transient immunity (CMTI). The CMTI test of this disclosure may be used in a variety of applications, such as a data transmission circuit configured to communicate across galvanic isolation. A differential circuit may include two signal paths. For robust common mode transient rejection, the first signal path should be the same as the second signal path. Differences in the resistance, inductance, and capacitance between the two signal paths may result in common mode noise being measured as a differential signal at the output terminals. Devices according to the techniques of this disclosure are configured to enter a test mode to conduct a low voltage test that outputs a measurement of CMTI at any phase of production or field use.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a micromechanical environmental barrier chip includes providing a substrate having a first surface and an opposite second surface, depositing a material layer having a different etch characteristic than the substrate onto the first surface, creating a microstructured micromechanical environmental barrier structure on top of the material layer by applying a microstructuring process, applying an anisotropic etching process comprising at least one etching step for anisotropically etching from the second surface towards the first surface to create at least a cavity underneath the micromechanical environmental barrier structure, the cavity extending between the second surface and the material layer, and removing the material layer underneath the micromechanical environmental barrier structure to expose the environmental barrier structure.
