    Abstract: A method of interfacing a LC sensor with a control unit is provided. The control unit may include first and second contacts, where the LC sensor is connected between the first and the second contact. A capacitor is connected between the first contact and a ground. To start the oscillation of the LC sensor, the method may include during a first phase, connecting the first contact to a supply voltage and placing the second contact in a high impedance state such that the capacitor is charged through the supply voltage. During a second phase, the first contact may be placed in a high impedance state, and the second contact connected to the ground such that the capacitor transfers charge towards the LC sensor. During a third phase, the first contact and the second contact may be placed in a high impedance state so the LC sensor is able to oscillate.

    Abstract: A method includes: writing first data in a first partition of a first memory module and second data in a first partition of a second memory module, and selectively operating the first and second memory modules in a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The first operating mode includes writing parity bits for the first data in a second partition of the second memory module and parity bits for the second data in a second partition of the first memory module. The second operating mode includes writing further data instead of parity bits in the second partition of one or both the first memory module and the second memory module.

    Abstract: A communication system is arranged to interface a plurality of transmission circuits with an interconnection network. Each transmission circuit generates read requests and/or write requests. The communication system includes a first circuit that operates independently of the communication protocol of the interconnection network. In particular, the first circuit includes, a) for each transmission circuit a communication interface configured for receiving the read requests and/or write requests from the respective transmission circuit, b) a segmentation circuit configured for dividing, i.e., segmenting, the read requests and/or write requests received from the transmission circuits into transfer segments, and c) an interleaving circuit configured for generating, via an operation of interleaving of the transfer segments, a series of segments. The communication system also includes a second circuit configured for converting the transfer segments of the series of segments into data packets according to the protocol of the interconnection network and for transmitting the data packets to the interconnection network.

    Abstract: A completion-detector circuit for detecting completion of the transfer of asynchronous data on a communication channel with signal lines organized according to a delay-insensitive encoding (e.g., dual-rail, m-of-n, Berger encoding) comprises: logic circuitry for detecting the data on the aforesaid signal lines configured for: i) producing a first signal indicating the fact that the asynchronous data on the signal lines are stable; ii) producing a second signal indicating the fact that the signal lines are de-asserted; and an asynchronous finite-state machine supplied with the first signal and the second signal for producing a signal of detection of completion of transfer of the asynchronous data, the detection signal having: a first value, when the first signal is asserted; and a second value, when the second signal is asserted; and being on hold when neither one nor the other of said first signal and said second signal is asserted.
