Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate patterned to include a first semiconductor track and a second semiconductor track separated from each other by a trench isolation region. The integrated circuit includes a logic circuit including a transistor having a first drain subregion in the first semiconductor track, a second drain subregion in the second semiconductor track, a first source subregion in the first semiconductor track, and a second source subregion in the second semiconductor track. A diffusion bridge of semiconductor material extends between the first and second semiconductor tracks and connects the first source subregion to the second source subregion.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a method of operating a voice coil motor via a transconductance loop. The method includes detecting an actual value of a supply voltage of the transconductance loop. An offset compensation signal of the transconductance loop is produced as a function of the detected actual value of the supply voltage based on a relationship between offset values and the supply voltage of the transconductance loop. The offset compensation signal is applied to a loop control signal of the transconductance loop. A drive current is applied to the voice coil motor. The drive current is related to a target drive current that is based on the loop control signal.

Abstract: A memory circuit includes an array of memory cells arranged with first word lines connected to a first sub-array storing less significant bits of data and second word lines connected to a second sub-array storing more significant bits of data. A row decoder circuit coupled to the first and second word lines generates word line signals. A word line gating circuit is configured to selectively gate passage of the word line signals to the second word lines for the second sub-array in response to assertion of a maximum value signal. A data modification circuit performs a mathematical operation on data read from the array of memory cells, and asserts the maximum value signal if the mathematical operation performed on the less significant bits of data from the first sub-array produces a maximum data value.

Abstract: Apparatuses and computer-implemented methods for implementing a message-based protocol interface with a communication bus are provided. An example apparatus for implementing a message-based protocol interface with a communication bus may include message handler core circuitry having a transmit message buffer, wherein the transmit message buffer is configured to store a portion of a transmit message. The apparatus may further include receive handler circuitry configured to store a portion of a received message. The apparatus further includes a message handler processor comprising a processor and an instruction memory including program code, the instruction memory and program code configured to, with the processor, cause the message handler processor to transmit at least the portion of the transmit message from a transmit data memory to the message handler core circuitry and receive the received message from the receive handler circuitry into a receive data memory.

Abstract: An envelope detector receives a modulated signal and a differential stage coupled to the detector produces a replica modulated signal compared to produce a PWM-modulated signal having on and off times. A first switch is actuated to short-circuit the input to the envelope detector. A second switch is actuated to feed back to a storage capacitor a signal indicative of the difference between inputs to the differential stage. A third switch is actuated to short-circuit an input to the comparator. Logic circuitry activates the switched to implement offset compensation where: the first, second and third switches are actuated in the absence of the PWM-modulated signal during start-up and standby phases; and the first, second and third switches are actuated during off times of the PWM-modulated signal in a working phase alternating with the start-up/standby phases.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to devices and methods for detecting dimming gestures using infrared detection. Infrared signals are detected using a thermal metal-oxide-semiconductor (TMOS) infrared (IR) sensor solution. The TMOS IR sensor is highly accurate and has low power consumptions compared to traditional IR sensors that utilize IR receivers.
