  • Patent number: 8239429
    Abstract: An output buffer is provided, to which first and second input signals are applied and that delivers an output signal. The output buffer includes a second offset switching stage installed in cascade downstream from a first switching stage. The second offset switching stage generates control points shifted in time with respect to memory points.

  • Patent number: 7576678
    Abstract: A successive approximation analog/digital converter is provided, which includes a successive approximation register supplying a digital/analog converter, first means of comparing an input signal of the analog/digital converter to an output signal of the digital/analog converter delivering a first comparison signal, said successive approximation analog/digital converter being synchronised by a clock signal coming from a conversion clock. A method such as this includes dynamic adaptation of the conversion clock period based on at least one parameter.

  • Patent number: 7218167
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for generation of a reference electrical voltage. The device includes a first current generator outputting a current proportional to temperature. The first current generator comprises at least one operational amplifier and two branches in parallel, a first branch comprising a first current source and a first bipolar transistor, and a second branch comprising a second current source, a first resistance and a second bipolar transistor. A second current generator outputs a current conversely proportional to temperature. The device includes means of summating the currents so as to obtain a voltage independent of the said temperature, and means of reducing dependence of the current circulating in the said first branch on the value of the said first resistance. The reduction means comprises at least one second resistance with a non-adjustable value.

  • Publication number: 20060087788
    Abstract: An electronic circuit is provided, which includes a dual supply having a first supply for a first portion of said circuit and a second supply for a second portion of said circuit. The electronic circuit further includes a protection circuit for protecting at least one transistor of said first portion. The protection circuit includes a first protection transistor of which the drain is connected to a connection between said first portion and said second portion and the gate is connected to said first power supply. A voltage reducer reduces the voltage between the drain and the gate of said first protection transistor.
