Abstract: A driver circuit for driving a transmission line includes a voltage driver and a current driver. The voltage driver is for driving the transmission line with a first voltage gain in a first operation mode. The current driver is activatable in a second operation mode for driving, together with the voltage driver, the transmission line with a second voltage gain. The transmission line may be an Ethernet-over-copper transmission line with electrical data signals from a data generator.

Abstract: A reading circuit for reading a datum stored in a storage material. In the reading circuit, a generating stage generates a read electrical quantity to be applied to the storage material, and a sensing stage is configured to generate an output electrical quantity that is indicative of a charge variation associated to the datum stored, and that occurs in the storage material due to application of the read electrical quantity; in particular, the sensing stage uses a charge-sensing amplifier electrically connected to the storage material.

Abstract: A method for non-destructive reading of a datum stored in a ferroelectric material in a stable state of polarization, the method including applying a read electrical quantity to the ferroelectric material having a value such as not to cause a variation in the stable state of polarization thereof, generating an output quantity indicative of a polarization charge variation occurring in the ferroelectric material during application of the read electrical quantity, and determining the value of the stored datum based on the output quantity. In particular, the polarization charge variation is given by a difference between a first value assumed by the polarization charge in the stable state of the ferroelectric material and a second value assumed by the polarization charge during application of the read electrical quantity.
