Abstract:
An integrated circuit structure has at least one voltage island and a pattern of power switches within the voltage island. The pattern determines the number of (and evenly spaces) the power switches according to the size of the serviceable area to which each of the power switches can provide power. The size of the power switches are matched to the current and voltage that will be provided by the power buses. The size of the serviceable area to which each of the power switches can provide power is dependent upon the size of the power switches.
Abstract:
A system for executing a symmetric key cryptographic method includes a processor selecting data paths, a key, an initialization vector, a memory storing batched operation parameters, a bus connected to the processor and the memory, a cryptographic processor connected to the bus and controlled by the processor for performing a plurality of operations according to the operations parameter, wherein data for each operation is received individually and separately from the batched operation parameters, wherein an output for each operation is transmitted separately, and a pair of first-in-first-out (FIFO) state machines controlled by the processor and selectably connected to one of the cryptographic processor and the bus, bypassing the cryptographic processor.
