  • Integrated circuit and method for diagnosing an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 11953546
    Abstract: According to one aspect, an integrated circuit includes: an electronic module configured to generate a voltage at an output, and an electronic control circuit coupled to an output of the electronic module, the electronic control circuit comprising an emissive electronic component. The electronic control circuit is configured to cause the emissive electronic component to emit light radiation as a function of a value of the voltage at the output of the electronic module relative to a value of an operating voltage of the electronic module, and the operating voltage is specific thereto during normal operation of this electronic module. The light radiation emitted by the emissive electronic component is configured to diffuse to an outer face of the integrated circuit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 9, 2023
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2024
    Assignees: STMicroelectronics (Alps) SAS, STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SAS
    Inventors: Etienne Auvray, Tommaso Melis, Philippe Sirito-Olivier
