The devices use few external components and provide multiple protection modes. They are a robust defense against overloads, shorts circuits, voltage surges, excessive inrush current, and reverse current. Current limit level can be set with a single external resistor and current limit set has a typical accuracy of ±15%. Over voltage events are limited by internal clamping circuits to a safe fixed maximum, with no external components required. TPS2592Ax devices provide over voltage protection (OVP) for 12V systems and TPS2592Bx devices for 5V systems. In cases with particular voltage ramp requirements, a dV/dT pin is provided that can be programmed with a single capacitor to ensure proper output ramp rates. Many systems, such as SSDs, must not allow holdup capacitance energy to dump back through the FET body diode onto a drooping or shorted input bus. The BFET pin is for such systems. An external NFET can be connected “Back to Back (B2B)” with the TPS2592 output and the gate driven by BFET to prevent current flow from load to source (see Figure 51 ).

  • Design of Variation-Tolerant Circuits for Nanometer CMOS Technology: Circuits and Architecture Co-Design
    Design of Variation-Tolerant Circuits for Nanometer CMOS Technology: Circuits and Architecture Co-Design by Mohamed Hassan Abu-Rahma A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in ful¯llment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2008 °c Mohamed Hassan Abu-Rahma 2008 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required ¯nal revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Aggressive scaling of CMOS technology in sub-90nm nodes has created huge challenges. Variations due to fundamental physical limits, such as random dopants fluctuation (RDF) and line edge roughness (LER) are increasing signi¯cantly with technology scaling. In addition, manufacturing tolerances in process technology are not scaling at the same pace as transistor's channel length due to process control limitations (e.g., sub-wavelength lithography). Therefore, within-die process varia- tions worsen with successive technology generations. These variations have a strong impact on the maximum clock frequency and leakage power for any digital circuit, and can also result in functional yield losses in variation-sensitive digital circuits (such as SRAM). Moreover, in nanometer technologies, digital circuits show an in- creased sensitivity to process variations due to low-voltage operation requirements, which are aggravated by the strong demand for lower power consumption and cost while achieving higher performance and density. It is therefore not surprising that the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) lists variability as one of the most challenging obstacles for IC design in nanometer regime.

  • Achieve 20-A Circuit Protection and Space Efficiency Using Paralleled Efuses
    Application Report SLVA836–November 2016 Achieve 20-A Circuit Protection and Space Efficiency Using Paralleled eFuses Rakesh Panguloori, Venkat Nandam ABSTRACT Today Texas Instrument’s eFuse devices are sought-after to replace discrete frontend protection circuits in many applications. These eFuses are available in the current range from 0.1 A to 12 A. However, certain applications like servers and communication equipment demand currents in the range of several tens of amperes. In general, device paralleling is seen as the first option by the system designers to scale the system for higher current requirements and better thermal management. While these devices are operated in parallel, it is essential that individual e-fuse share equal or near to equal load current for proper system operation and dynamic response. This application note describes the design considerations and performance characteristics of using eFuses in parallel configuration. An example of paralleling four eFuse devices to support 20-A load current is considered here to demonstrate load current sharing performance and to illustrate device behavior during transient overload, short-circuit events.

  • Key Extraction Using Thermal Laser Stimulation a Case Study on Xilinx Ultrascale Fpgas
    Key Extraction Using Thermal Laser Stimulation A Case Study on Xilinx Ultrascale FPGAs Heiko Lohrke∗,1, Shahin Tajik∗,3,†, Thilo Krachenfels2, Christian Boit1, and Jean-Pierre Seifert2 1Semiconductor Devices Group, 2Security in Telecommunications Group Technische Universität Berlin, Germany 3Florida Institute for Cybersecurity Research University of Florida, USA [email protected], [email protected] [email protected], {tkrachenfels,jpseifert}@sect.tu-berlin.de Abstract. Thermal laser stimulation (TLS) is a failure analysis technique, which can be deployed by an adversary to localize and read out stored secrets in the SRAM of a chip. To this date, a few proof-of-concept experiments based on TLS or similar approaches have been reported in the literature, which do not reflect a real attack scenario. Therefore, it is still questionable whether this attack technique is applicable to modern ICs equipped with side-channel countermeasures. The primary aim of this work is to assess the feasibility of launching a TLS attack against a device with robust security features. To this end, we select a modern FPGA, and more specifically, its key memory, the so-called battery-backed SRAM (BBRAM), as a target. We demonstrate that an attacker is able to extract the stored 256-bit AES key used for the decryption of the FPGA’s bitstream, by conducting just a single non-invasive measurement. Moreover, it becomes evident that conventional countermeasures are incapable of preventing our attack since the FPGA is turned off during key recovery. Based on our time measurements, the required effort to develop the attack is shown to be less than 7 hours.
