    Abstract: The receiver for a satellite positioning system includes at least one receive channel with an input stage configured to receive a satellite signals having different constellation frequencies belonging to one frequency band or to different frequency bands. The receive channel further includes a frequency transposition stage connected to the input stage (EE) and including a controllable local oscillator device configured to deliver different frequency transposition signals respectively adapted to the different constellation frequencies. A processing stage of the receive channel is connected to the frequency transposition stage and includes a control circuit configured to control the local oscillator device to sequentially and cyclically deliver the different frequency transposition signals.

    Abstract: A system includes a processing unit, a memory configured to store at least one first group of instructions and one second group of instructions for execution by the processing unit, the processing unit being configured to sequentially extract from the memory instructions of the first group and instructions of the second group for their execution. The system also includes a controller including a first auxiliary memory configured to store a protection criterion, a comparator configured to compare the storage address of each extracted instruction with the protection criterion, and a control circuit configured to, in response to the storage address meeting the protection criterion, trigger a protection mechanism including at least one prohibition for the processing unit to execute again at least one portion of the instructions of the first group, during the execution of the instructions of the second group.

    Abstract: The system-on-chip includes at least one master device, at least one slave resource, an interconnection bus including an error notification channel, and a resource isolation system including, for each resource, a protection circuit configured to block or transmit transactions addressed to the resource via the interconnection bus, according to access rights of the resource and the transaction. The protection circuit is capable of generating a notification signal on the error notification channel of the interconnection bus in case of blockage of a transaction.

    Abstract: In an embodiment a DC to DC conversion circuit includes a DC to DC converter connected to an input path and an output path and a current limiting circuit including a circuit configured to detect when an input or output current of the DC to DC converter exceeds or falls below a current threshold and a controller configured to store a first voltage level of an output voltage of the DC to DC converter in response to the input or output current exceeding the current threshold, to store a second voltage level of the output voltage in response to the input or output current falling below the current threshold and to set a control signal based on the first and second voltage levels.
