    Abstract: A voltage regulator coupled between a first node and second node includes a first (full-power) regulator circuit and a second (low-power) regulator circuit. In a first mode: the first regulator circuit is activated (with the second regulator circuit inactive) when the voltage at the first node is a battery voltage, and the voltage regulator is kept de-activated when the voltage at the first node is a ground voltage. In a second mode: the first regulator circuitry in is active (with the second regulator circuitry inactive) when the voltage at the first node is a battery voltage, and the voltage regulator is inactive when the voltage at the first node is a ground voltage. In a third mode: the second regulator circuitry is active (with the first regulator circuitry inactive) irrespective of the voltage at the first node being at the battery voltage or the ground voltage.

    Abstract: A method that is for operating a serial protocol interface includes a communication device that is configured to exchange data over a communication link by sending output data on the communication link, and receiving input data on the communication link. The input data is synchronous with a clock signal generated at the communication device and propagated over the communication link. The method also includes initializing operation by sending the output data on the communication link at a first data rate, detecting a signal transition in the input data received on the communication link, and exchanging data over the communication link at a second data rate when the signal transition is detected, the second data rate being higher than the first data, with the exchanging of data at the second data rate synchronized as a function of the signal transition.

    Abstract: A digital processor, such as, e.g., a divider in a PID controller, performs a mathematical operation such as division (or multiplication) involving operands represented by strings of bit signals and an operator to produce an operation result. The processor is configured by identifying first and second power-of-two approximating values of the operator as the nearest lower and nearest higher power-of-two values to the operator. The operation is performed on the input operands by means of the first and second power-of-two approximating values of the operator by shifting the bit signals in the operands by using the first and second power-of-two approximating values in an alternated sequence to produce: first approximate results by using the first power-of-two approximating value, second approximate results by using the second power-of-two approximating value. The average of the first and second approximate results is representative of the accurate result of the operation.

    Abstract: A clock generator includes a microcontroller unit calibrated by aligning at subsequent calibration times a frequency of a first clock with respect to the frequency of a second clock having a higher frequency accuracy than the first clock, with the frequency of the first clock varying between subsequent calibration times. The frequency of the first clock is aligned to a frequency which is offset by a certain amount with respect to the frequency of the second clock to counter frequency error which may accumulate over time due to the variation in the frequency of the first clock.

    Abstract: A microcontroller includes an input pin and internal pull-up and pull-down circuits. External pull-up and pull-down circuits are also coupled to the input pin. The microcontroller is operable according to different configuration modes which include configuring the input pin in a floating state. A control logic then configures the internal pull-up and pull-down circuits according to an internal pull-up mode to acquire a first input voltage signal (at a first logic value) from the input pin, and further configure the internal pull-up and pull-down circuits according to an internal pull-down mode to acquire a second input voltage signal (at a second logic value) from the input pin. A selection of the operating mode of the MCU is then made based on the acquired first and second logic values.
