  • Publication number: 20230228554
    Abstract: An electronic system includes a first LC oscillator connected to a first general-purpose input/output (GPIO) circuit and a second LC oscillator connected to a second GPIO circuit. A threshold generator is coupled to an input of the comparator. A control circuit is configured to control a measurement phase comprising a first capture phase and a second capture phase. A microcontroller is coupled to the control circuit and a power management circuit is configured to switch-off the microcontroller following activation of the control circuit by the microcontroller. The control circuit is configured to control the application of an excitation signal to the each oscillator via the respective GPIO circuit, control the GPIO circuit so that oscillations of the oscillator are provided to the comparator, and count, based on an output of the comparator, a number of oscillations in the oscillator exceeding a threshold output by the threshold generator.

  • Patent number: 10979063
    Abstract: An electronic circuit comprises capacitive structures that are connected to one or a plurality of nodes, where each of the capacitive structures is formed by a capacitor or by a plurality of capacitors electrically connected in parallel. The electronic circuit further comprises additional capacitors that are each connected to the one or plurality of nodes. For at least one distance between capacitors, the capacitive structures have a same average of values defined, for each capacitor of each capacitive structure, by the number of capacitors of the circuit connected to the one or plurality of nodes and located at the distance from the capacitor of the capacitive structure.
