Systems and methods for operating a power converter of a device are described. A controller of the power converter may determine a battery voltage of a battery of the device and determine whether the battery voltage meets a threshold voltage. Responsive to determining that the battery voltage meets the threshold voltage, the controller may cause the power converter to operate in a pass-through mode where the power converter provides a load voltage to a load that is equal to the battery voltage. Alternatively, responsive to determining that that battery voltage does not meet the threshold voltage, the controller may cause the power converter to operate in a switching mode where the power converter provides the load voltage that is equal to the threshold voltage. By using the pass-through mode when the battery voltage meets the threshold voltage, a battery life of the device may be conserved.

A semiconductor device includes a non-volatile memory (NVM) capable of data-writing even after the semiconductor device is shipped. When a read request is made, the semiconductor reads and outputs the content stored in the area of the NVM in place of the replacement target data in the instruction codes stored in a read only memory. Therefore, after shipping of the semiconductor device, even if a defect such as fragility in the code used at the start of the semiconductor device is found, replacement data in place of 10 the data to be replaced it can be obtained. That is, the semiconductor device, replacement process using the modified patches of Boot ROM cord is enabled.
G06F 11/10 - Détection ou correction d'erreur par introduction de redondance dans la représentation des données, p. ex. en utilisant des codes de contrôle en ajoutant des chiffres binaires ou des symboles particuliers aux données exprimées suivant un code, p. ex. contrôle de parité, exclusion des 9 ou des 11
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes, after a wire bonding step, a step of determining a quality as to whether or not a whole of an end portion of a wire is located within a bonding region. A semiconductor chip includes a plurality of position determining opening patterns arranged in a region located around a main opening portion including the bonding region in plan view. The bonding region has a rectangular shape having an area smaller than an opening area of the main opening portion in plan view. The bonding region is defined by the plurality of position determining opening patterns.
A semiconductor device is protected from glitch attacks (FIA). A reset data transfer controller RDTC executes N times of data transfer, transferring data DT stored in a first memory MEM1a to a main register REGm during the first data transfer, and transferring data DT stored in the first memory MEM1a to a sub-register REGs during the Nth data transfer. A comparison circuit CMP1 determines the match/mismatch between the data DTm transferred to the main register REGm and the data DTs transferred to the sub-register REGs, and outputs a determination result signal RS representing the determination result. A system controller SYSC activates a processor PRC when the determination result signal RS indicates a match, and causes the reset data transfer controller RDTC to execute the N times of data transfer again when it indicates a mismatch.
High speed of an analog-digital converter of a semiconductor device is achieved. A voltage quantizer circuit includes: a first comparator including a first input transistor inputting differential input voltages, and defining a value of a first bit of a digital signal; and a second comparator including a second input transistor being different from the first input transistor, and defining a value of a second bit of the digital signal. A correction code decision circuit decides a correction code for correcting a common-mode voltage of the differential input voltages, based on a conversion end signal output from the voltage quantizer circuit. A common-mode voltage regulator circuit regulates the common-mode voltage by adding or subtracting a corrected voltage based on the correction code to or from the differential input voltages.
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a multilayer wiring structure formed on the semiconductor substrate, a guard ring formed so as to surround a circuit formation region and penetrate the multilayer wiring structure, and a pad formed on the multilayer wiring structure. A protective film is formed so as to cover the multilayer wiring structure, the guard ring, and the pad. A trench is formed so as to penetrate the protective film and reach an inside of the multilayer wiring structure. The trench is formed so as to surround the guard ring. The guard ring includes a wiring formed on the multilayer wiring structure. The trench is spaced apart from and adjacent to the wiring. A bottom surface of the trench is inclined so as to be continuously deepened in a direction from the circuit formation region toward a peripheral region surrounding the circuit formation region.
