Abstract: A touch controller may include a measurement circuit, configured to receive a signal from an active channel in a proximity sensor, and to sample and hold the signal to measure the signal. The touch controller may include a driven shield buffer. The touch controller may include a voltage reference circuit configured to generate a divided voltage reference, provide the divided voltage reference to the measurement circuit, and drive the divided voltage reference through a switched circuit to the driven shield buffer to hold channels in the proximity sensor during measurement of the active channel.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a power management unit for controlling power in a microcontroller. The unit causes a first voltage to be provided in an active mode. In a sleep mode, the unit determines whether a supply voltage is less than an upper reference voltage and, if so, cause a second voltage greater than the first voltage to be provided. If not, the unit inhibits operation of voltage regulation of power supplied to the microcontroller. After inhibition of operation of voltage regulation, the unit determines whether the supply voltage has fallen to a lower reference voltage and, if so, applies the second voltage to the microcontroller.

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.
