摘要:
Sequential electronic circuit (10) reacting on a rising edge and a falling edge of a clock signal (CK), comprising a first (1) and a second (2) D-type flip-flop, a main multiplexer (3) coupled at input to the flip-flops (1 and 2), the circuit (10) comprising a first input receiving the clock signal (CK) and a second input receiving a control signal (TE) so as to control the circuit (10) according to a normal operating mode and a test operating mode making it possible to check the proper operation of the sequential electronic circuit (10). The clock signal (CK) used in the normal operating mode is used to gate the circuit (10) during the test operating mode.
摘要:
A dynamic biasing circuit of the substrate of a MOS power transistor may include a first switch configured to connect the substrate to a current source which forward biases the intrinsic source-substrate diode of the transistor, when the gate voltage of the transistor turns the transistor on. The current source may include a stack of diodes in the same conduction direction as the intrinsic diode between the substrate and a supply voltage.
