    摘要: A low voltage isolation switch is suitable for receiving from a connection node a high voltage signal and transmitting said high voltage signal to a load via a connection terminal. The isolation switch includes a driving block connected between first and second voltage reference terminals and including a first driving transistor coupled between the first voltage reference (Vss) and a first driving circuit node and a second driving transistor coupled between the driving circuit node and the second supply voltage reference. The switch comprises an isolation block connected to the connection terminal (pzt), the connection node, and the driving central circuit node and including a voltage limiter block, a diode block and a control transistor. The control transistor is connected across the diode block between the connection node and the connection terminal and has a control terminal connected to the driving central circuit node.

    摘要: The operation of a circuit exhibiting a delay that is subject to a time spread as a function of process, voltage, and temperature variations is synchronized with a synchronization signal. A digital delay corresponding to the time spread is applied to the synchronization signal. The digital delay is generated via cascaded delay elements having respective delay values and by controlling the number of cascaded delay elements in the circuit that are applied to the synchronization signal.

    摘要: An energy-harvesting system includes a transducer to convert environmental energy into a harvesting electrical signal. A storage element stores electrical energy derived from conversion of the harvested environmental energy. A harvesting interface supplies an electrical charging signal to the storage element. The harvesting interface is selectively connected to the storage element in response to a control signal. The control signal causes the connection when the harvesting electrical signal exceeds a threshold. Conversely, the control signal causes the disconnection when the harvesting electrical signal is less than the threshold.

    摘要: A differentiator generates a time derivative signal from a time-variable signal. A transconductance amplifier generates a biasing control signal as a function of the time derivative signal. A supply network functions to supply the differentiator and transconductance amplifier. The supply network is driven by the biasing control signal output from the transconductance amplifier. With this configuration, speed of operation of the differentiator and transconductance amplifier vary with the supply provided by the supply network, and the supply is modulated as a function of the received time-variable signal.
