Abstract: An oscillating analog signal includes a succession of dampened oscillations. That oscillating analog signal is conditioned to generate an output signal including only oscillations of the oscillating analog signal which have an amplitude smaller than a first threshold. The output signal is then processed by a processing unit, where the first threshold is compatible with a maximum level of voltage tolerable by the processing unit.

Abstract: An electronic chip includes a chip core including an input terminal, an output terminal, an external pad, and an input-output circuit coupled to the chip core and the external pad. The input-output circuit includes an enable terminal coupled to the chip core, a connection terminal coupled to the external pad, a switchable diode device coupled between a supply voltage and a reference voltage, and a levelling circuit. The switchable diode device is coupled to the connection terminal and the enable terminal and is configured to operate as a diode in response to a control signal in a first state applied to the enable terminal and to operate as an open circuit in response to the control signal in a second state applied to the enable terminal. The levelling circuit is coupled to the connection terminal, the input terminal of the chip core, and the output terminal of the chip core.

Abstract: User devices may have connectivity with a backend server only occasionally. Provided is a communication means for such user devices to operate offline, when connectivity is unavailable, and to seamlessly transition to online connectivity when it is available. At least a subset of information from the backend server is communicated to the user device to enable the user to perform functions with the device regardless if the device is online or offline. The information from the user device can be communicated to the backend server when connectivity is established and/or can be communicated based on a cost verses value analysis.
