Journal ArticleDOI
Fault-secure parity prediction arithmetic operators
TL;DR: The authors determine the necessary conditions for fault secureness and derive designs embodying these conditions that are compatible with systems checked by parity codes.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Low-energy BIST design: impact of the LFSR TPG parameters on the weighted switching activity
Patrick Girard,L. Guiller,Christian Landrault,Serge Pravossoudovitch,Joan Figueras,Salvador Manich,P. Teixeira,Márcia de Lourdes Bezerra dos Santos +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that appropriately selecting the seed of the LFSR can lead to an important energy reduction, and a heuristic method based on a simulated annealing algorithm is proposed to significantly decrease the energy consumption of BIST sessions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low Power BIST by Filtering Non-Detecting Vectors
Salvador Manich,A. Gabarro,M. Lopez,Joan Figueras,Patrick Girard,L. Guiller,C. Landrault,S. Pravossoudovitch,P. Teixeira,Márcia de Lourdes Bezerra dos Santos +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two techniques to reduce the energy and the average power consumption of the system are proposed based on the fact that as the test progresses, the detection efficiency of the pseudo-random vectors decreases very quickly.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Maximizing the weighted switching activity in combinational CMOS circuits under the variable delay model
Salvador Manich,Joan Figueras +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology to find the couple of vectors maximizing the weighted switching activity in combinational CMOS circuits under variable delay model is presented, which is shown to be equivalent to a fault testing problem on a transformed circuit.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Detection of probing attempts in secure ICs
TL;DR: A novel in-circuit countermeasure that is cheap and can easily be integrated in existing designs to detect probing attempts is presented, based on a ring oscillator that operates over coupled lines in a differential mode.
