Abstract: An integrated circuit that includes multiple power rails with dummy loads configured on at least some of the power rails. The dummy loads are activated in response to a voltage overshoot condition on regions of the power rails at which the dummy loads are located. The dummy loads may be substituted for decoupling capacitors or other active cells at particular regions of the power rails.

Abstract: Reference voltage generators including a header circuit configured to pass current from a power supply to a time-to-digital converter, an amount of the current to pass determined by a thermometer code, and logic to update the thermometer code based on a comparison between an output of the time-to-digital converter and a digital code representing a reference voltage level.

Abstract: A ring oscillator circuit with a frequency that is sensitive to the timing of a clock-to-Q (clk2Q) propagation delay of one or more flip-flops utilized in the ring oscillator. The clock2Q is the delay between the clock signal arriving at the clock pin on the flop and the Q output reflecting the state of the input data signal to the flop. Clk2q delay measurements are made based on measurement of the ring oscillator frequency, leading to more accurate estimates of clk2Q for different types of flip-flops and flip-flop combinations, which may in turn enable improvements in circuit layouts, performance, and area.

Abstract: Circuits that include one or more transmission lines to propagate a signal through a serially-arranged plurality of repeaters, and one or more control circuits to propagate control pulses to the repeaters, wherein a timing and duration of the control pulses is configured to operate the repeaters in current-mode signaling (CMS) mode during a state transition of the signal at the repeaters and to operate the repeaters in voltage-mode signaling (VMS) mode otherwise.

Abstract: Techniques are described for detecting an electromagnetic (“EM”) fault injection attack directed toward circuitry in a target digital system. In various embodiments, a first node may be coupled to first driving circuitry, and a second node may be coupled to second driving circuitry. The driving circuitry is implemented in a manner such that a logic state on the second node has greater sensitivity to an EM pulse than has a logic state on the first node. Comparison circuitry may be coupled to the first and to the second nodes to assert an attack detection output responsive to sensing a logic state on the second node that is unexpected relative to a logic state on the first node.

Abstract: Power delivery systems for integrated circuits that include a first metal path traversing first metal layers from a global power domain supply to a voltage regulator, a second metal path traversing second metal layers from a local power domain supply to the voltage regulator, and a third metal path traversing third metal layers from the local power domain supply to an integrated circuit. Electrical isolation gaps are formed between the first metal layers, the second metal layers, and the third metal layers.

Abstract: A circuit includes a bandgap circuit configured to generate multiple reference voltages. A first voltage glitching detection circuit utilizes a first one of the reference voltages and a first power rail to generate a first reset signal in response to a voltage glitching attack on the first power rail, and a second voltage glitching detection circuit operates independently of the reference voltages to generate a second reset signal in response to the voltage glitching attack on the first power rail.
