Abstract: A comparator with two thresholds includes a two-threshold latch in which one input and one output respectively form an input and an output of the comparator. The latch has a first node between a first power supply terminal and the output of the latch. The comparator also includes a first negative feedback loop acting on the first node for setting the first threshold of the comparator as a function of a first power supply potential. The first threshold is also a function of a first reference potential that is stable.

Abstract: An electrical connection device between two conducting tracks of an integrated circuit comprises a first conducting connection between the two tracks. The device further comprises an additional interface of one of the two tracks, different from the interface of the track with the first connection and different from the lateral interface of the track with an insulating material parallel to the flow direction of the electric current in the track. The additional interface is placed at some distance from the first connection which is substantially less than the width of the track. The additional interface may be obtained by placing at least a second conducting connection between the two tracks, or by placing at least one rib in the track, or by placing notches on at least one of the faces of the track.

Abstract: An amplitude control device for a signal output by an oscillator includes a rectification circuit for rectifying the output signal, and a differential amplification circuit for generating a biasing current control signal for the oscillator. The biasing current control signal is based upon the output signal from the rectification circuit and a reference voltage. A dividing bridge and an adder are designed so that only a fraction of the reference voltage is used to define the amplitude of the oscillations. The contribution made to the oscillator phase noise by the reference voltage noise is considerably reduced.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a semiconductor device forming a single photon source, and includes a MOS transistor on a silicon substrate. The MOS transistor has a mushroom shaped gate for outputting a single electron on its drain in a controlled manner in response to a control voltage applied to its gate. The transistor also includes at least one silicon compatible quantum box. The quantum box is electrically coupled to the drain region of the transistor, and is capable of outputting a single photon on reception of a single electron emitted by the transistor.
