    Abstract: A system a ring oscillator configured to produce a set of clock signals having the same clock period and a mutual time delay between respective clock signal edges. Comparator circuits are coupled to first and second input nodes and produce a set of comparison signals according to a respective sequence of comparison phases. A set of synchronization circuits is coupled to the ring oscillator and to the plurality of comparator circuits. The synchronization circuits allot, to each one of the comparator circuits, respective time windows for communication over respective communication lines of the comparison signals. The respective time windows are synchronized based on the clock signals. A multiplexer couples the respective communication lines to an output line to sequentially enable each of the comparator circuits to sequentially output respective comparison signals over the output line for the respective time windows thereby forming a composite comparison signal evolving over time.

    Abstract: A phase-change memory device includes a memory array including a first memory cell and a second memory cell, each comprising a phase-change element and a selector, connected respectively to a first local bitline and a second local bitline, which are in turn connected, respectively, to a first main bitline and a second main bitline. The parasitic capacitance of the main bitlines is precharged at a supply voltage. When the local bitlines are selected to access a respective logic datum stored in the phase-change element, the parasitic capacitance of the local bitlines is first charged using the charge previously stored in the parasitic capacitance of the main bitlines and then discharged through the respective phase-change elements. Reading of the logic datum is made by comparing the discharge times.

    Abstract: A voltage-regulator device includes an error-amplifier stage configured to receive a first reference voltage and a feedback voltage, an output amplifier stage coupled to the error-amplifier stage and configured to generate an output voltage related to the first reference voltage by an amplification factor, and a feedback stage configured to generate the feedback voltage. A compensation stage is configured to implement a second feedback loop, and cause, in response to a variation of the output voltage, a corresponding variation of a first biasing voltage for the output amplifier stage. The compensation stage includes a coupling-capacitor element coupled between the output amplifier stage and a first internal node, and a driving module coupled between the first internal node, and the output amplifier stage and configured to generate a compensation voltage for driving the output amplifier stage.

    Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) may include a conversion block providing a first analog value. The DAC may also include an amplification block for receiving the first analog value and providing a second analog value amplified by an amplification factor. The amplification block may include a first input terminal for receiving the first analog value, a second input terminal, and an output terminal for providing the second analog value. The amplification block may also include a first capacitive element and a second capacitive element. The first and second capacitive elements may determine the amplification factor. The amplification block may further include a control unit for recovering a charge at a first terminal of the second capacitive element, and based thereon, the second analog value.
