Abstract: A system is provided where one of a first device or a second device is supplied with power by the other one of the first device or the second device. Supplying may be done via a universal serial bus cable like a universal serial bus Type-C cable.

Abstract: First transistor logic is arranged by a first logic provider in circuit form and provides a minimum of functionality of the semiconductor device employed to bring up the semiconductor device, wherein the minimum of functionality is encrypted using a first encryption key. Second transistor logic is arranged by a second logic provider, different than the first logic provider, in circuit form to include security keys capable to perform cryptographic capabilities using a second encryption key. The second transistor logic further includes functionality that completes the semiconductor device as a chip device and is ready to process secure communication signals.

Abstract: Control circuit and method for regulating the supply voltage of an SLIC circuit (15), having a monitoring circuit (36) for calculating an SLIC supply voltage which is required to reach a nominal supply current (Inom) for an analogue terminal (2) which is connected to the SLIC circuit (15); and having a DC/DC converter (53), which is controlled by the monitoring circuit (36), for converting a battery voltage (Vbatt) to the calculated SLIC supply voltage.

Abstract: Data transmission method for voice data packets (SDP) between at least one voice signal processor (7-i) and a network processor (3) using a voice data bus (10) in time-division multiplex data frames which each have a predetermined number of timeslots (TS), where the voice data packets (SDP) from a voice signal processor (7-i) are transmitted in split form via the voice data bus (10) in particular timeslots provided for the respective voice signal processor (7-i).
