Abstract: A system includes an electronic module and an integrated circuit outside the electronic module. The integrated circuit is configured to generate a digital timing signal that emulates a first synchronization signal internal to the module and not available outside the module and to generate trigger signals based on the digital timing signal. A controller is configured to independently and autonomously perform control operations of the electronic module at times triggered by the trigger signals.

Abstract: A semiconductor region includes an isolating region which delimits a working area of the semiconductor region. A trench is located in the working area and further extends into the isolating region. The trench is filled by an electrically conductive central portion that is insulated from the working area by an isolating enclosure. A cover region is positioned to cover at least a first part of the filled trench, wherein the first part is located in the working area. A dielectric layer is in contact with the filled trench. A metal silicide layer is located at least on the electrically conductive central portion of a second part of the filled trench, wherein the second part is not covered by the cover region.

Abstract: A device includes a first switch, a first irreversibly programmable memory point, and a second irreversibly programmable memory point coupled in parallel with the first irreversibly programmable memory point. The first switch and the parallel combination of the first and second irreversibly programmable memory points are coupled in series between a first node and a second node.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a method for determining, for a memory allocation, placements in a memory area of data blocks generated by a neural network, comprises a development of an initial sequence of placements of blocks, each placement being selected from several possible placements, the initial sequence being defined as a candidate sequence, a development of at least one modified sequence of placements from a replacement of a given placement of the initial sequence by a memorized unselected placement, and, if the planned size of the memory area obtained by this modified sequence is less than that of the memory area of the candidate sequence, then this modified sequence becomes the candidate sequence, the placements of the blocks for the allocation being those of the placement sequence defined as a candidate sequence once each modified sequence has been developed.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method of detection of a touch contact by a sensor including a first step of comparison of a voltage with a first voltage threshold; and a second step of comparison of the voltage with a second voltage threshold, the second step being implemented if the first voltage threshold has been reached within a duration shorter than a first duration threshold, the second voltage threshold being higher than the first voltage threshold.

Abstract: System, method, and circuitry for generating content for a programmable computing device based on user-selected configuration information. A settings registry is generated based on the user's selections. The settings registry and the user selected configuration information is utilized to generate the content, such as code, data, parameters, settings, etc. When the content is provided to the programmable computing device, the content initializes, configures, or controls one or more software and hardware aspects of the programmable computing device, such as boot sequence configurations, internal peripheral configurations, states of the programmable computing device, transitions between states of the programmable computing device, etc., and various combinations thereof.

Abstract: A memory contains a linked list of records representative of a plurality of data transfers via a direct memory access control circuit. Each record is representative of parameters of an associated data transfer of the plurality of data transfers. The parameters of each record include a transfer start condition of the associated data transfer and a transfer end event of the associated data transfer.

Abstract: An embodiment method for converting an initial digital image into a converted digital image, electronic chip, system and computer program product are disclosed, the initial digital image comprising a set of pixels, the pixels being associated respectively with colors, the initial digital image being acquired by an acquisition device, and the converted digital image able to be used by a neural network. The embodiment method comprises redimensioning of the initial digital image in order to obtain an intermediate digital image, the redimensioning being carried out by a reduction in the number of pixels of the initial image, modification of a format of one of the pixels of the intermediate digital image in order to obtain a converted digital image, the modification being carried out, after the redimensioning, by increasing the number of bits used to represent the color of the pixel.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing a first time domain with a second time domain of a system on chip includes a detection of at least one periodic trigger event generated in the first time domain, the second time domain or in a third time domain; acquisitions, made at the instants of the at least one trigger event, of the current timestamp values representative of the instantaneous states of the time domain(s) other than the trigger time domain; a comparison, made in the third time domain, between differential durations between current timestamp values which are respectively acquired successively; and a synchronization of the second time domain with the first time domain, on the basis of the comparison.

Abstract: An operation of calibrating the object using a reference reader is performed, the calibration operation including an operation of placing the reference reader at various distances away from the object that correspond to various values of a parameter within the object that is representative of the intensity of the signal received by the object, and, for each distance, an operation of determining an internal phase-shift compensation in the object with respect to a nominal internal phase shift, making it possible to obtain a load modulation amplitude that is higher, in terms of absolute value, than a threshold, and an operation of storing a lookup table of the various values of the parameter and the corresponding internal phase-shift compensations.
