Abstract: A method is provided for managing at least one transition in a three-phase BLDC motor describing a cycle including six successive states, wherein the motor obtains first, second and third synchronization signals. The synchronization signals are respectively associated with first, second and third coils of the motor. The method includes the following steps, for each current transition associated with the switching of the motor from a current state to a next state: selecting a current synchronization signal on which the current transition is to appear; detecting the occurrence of the current transition on the current synchronization signal; and sending, to the motor, at least one current control signal so as to switch the motor from the current state to the next state.

Abstract: A device for generation of a reference frequency includes a component configured for generating a reference voltage, and a slaving circuit configured for slaving the reference frequency to the reference voltage.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electronic circuit including at least one first and one second differential pair each including a plurality of transistors. All the transistors of said first and second differential pair are included in a single well.

Abstract: A biometric sensing device includes a sensor manufacture for sensing a biometric stimulus. The sensor manufacture includes a transitional segment between a side wall and an upper plateau. The transitional segment reduces deformation of a swiped finger, providing a tolerance in the positioning of the sensor device relative to a swiping platform.

Abstract: Sets of biometric data related to different types of physical stimuli, e.g., a scanning of a fingerprint and a swiping of a fingerprint, can be compared and a transfer function can be generated based on the comparison.

Abstract: A variable resolution biometric sensing device includes a sensor manufacture for sensing a biometric stimulus. The sensor device is configured to output data having a resolution selected from among at least two selectable output resolutions.

Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to biometric sensor device security. The biometric integrity of a stimulus; e.g., a finger, that is applied to a biometric sensor can be verified by the biometric sensor. Biometric data related to the stimulus can then be received from the biometric sensor. In order to be more resistant to spoofing techniques, the biometric sensor can monitor for an application continuity of the stimulus during the verifying and receiving steps.

Abstract: A biometric sensing device includes a sensor manufacture for sensing a biometric stimulus. The sensor manufacture is also configured to persistently store data electronically, such as security data.
