  • Patent number: 9015466
    Abstract: This device includes a programmable component having an output able to send an inhibiting signal upon successful configuration of the programmable component and an input able to receive a reconfiguration signal; an automatic burn-in circuit for the configuration of the programmable component, having: selection means which, in a first state, connect the programmable component to a first configuration memory space and, in a second state, connect the programmable component to a second configuration memory space; and watchdog means having an input able to receive the inhibition signal and an output for sending, when no inhibition signal has been received for a predetermined period of time, a configuration signal intended for the programmable component to command the reconfiguration thereof and of the selection means to modify the state thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8965305
    Abstract: The input interface for a transmit/receive radio station includes an input for receiving a signal either with a variable voltage over a pre-determined voltage range, or an open collector signal having a voltage (0V) corresponding to the low logic state; a first output for the variable voltage signal, and a second open collector output. The first and second outputs are connected to the same input and the input is connected to a reference potential through a first voltage divider bridge, the middle point of which is connected to the positive terminal of an open loop comparator, the output of which is connected to the second output.

  • Patent number: 8381010
    Abstract: A circuit for switching clocks includes a first input intended to receive a first clock signal at a frequency alternately equal to a first value or a second value, a second input intended to receive a second clock signal, synchronous with the first clock signal, at a third frequency and an output intended to deliver a third clock signal at a frequency alternately equal to the first value or the third value.
