  • Patent number: 8935548
    Abstract: A DC-DC converter includes an interface to receive data having voltage values. A first circuit carries out a voltage transition from a previously received voltage value to a received voltage value (VSEL). A second circuit activates or inactivates the first circuit in response to an activation signal or a stop signal provided by the interface. A third circuit configures the second circuit so that, when new data including a new voltage value is received during a voltage transition, the second circuit interprets the stop signal as an activation signal for the first circuit to carry out a new voltage transition. The setting circuit sets at least one parameter needed by the first circuit to carry out the new voltage transition in response to the new data and before the end of the new voltage transition.

  • Patent number: 8013638
    Abstract: An embodiment of regulation and shaping circuit includes a first input terminal for receiving a first input signal with a first frequency; a second input terminal for receiving a second input signal with a second frequency higher than the first frequency; a first circuital branch coupled to the first input terminal and, through first coupling means active at the first frequency, to an output terminal for providing an output signal; a second circuital branch coupled to the second input terminal and to the output terminal, wherein said second circuital branch comprises a negative feedback circuital loop adapted to control the output signal according to the second input signal.
