摘要： A method and apparatus for limiting access to an integrated circuit (IC) upon detection of abnormal conditions is provided. At least one of abnormal voltage detection, abnormal temperature detection, and abnormal clock detection are provided with low power consumption. Both abnormally low and abnormally high parameter values (e.g. abnormally low or high voltage, temperature, or clock frequency) may be detected. Abnormal clock detection may also detect a stopped clock signal, including a clock signal stopped at a low logic level or at a high logic level. Furthermore, abnormal clock detection may detect an abnormal duty cycle of a clock signal. A sampled bandgap reference may be used to provide accurate voltage and current references while consuming a minimal amount of power. Upon detection of an abnormal parameter value, one or more tamper indications may be provided to initiate tampering countermeasures, such as limiting access to the IC.

摘要： A device having a temperature sensor device is disclosed. The temperature sensor device includes a complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT) module and a reference module. Both the temperature sensor and the reference voltage module provide signals, that vary in a complementary relationship with the variation in temperature. While the signals can be voltages or currents, for purposes of discussion the signals are discussed in terms of voltages herein. The reference module provides a signal that has a relatively small variation with temperature as compared to the variation in a signal provided by the CTAT module. The signals are provided to a comparator, which provides a temperature control signal based on a comparison of the input signals.

摘要： A programmable temperature sensing circuit includes a comparator, first and second CTAT sensing elements, first and second PTAT reference circuits, and a selection circuit. When a selection signal is a first logic state, an output terminal of the first PTAT reference circuit is coupled to the second CTAT temperature sensing element for providing a first threshold voltage to the second input of the comparator. When the selection signal is a second logic state different from the first logic state, a series-connection of the first PTAT reference circuit and the second PTAT reference circuit are coupled to the second CTAT temperature sensing element for providing a second threshold voltage to the second input of the comparator. The comparator provides an output voltage indication when a voltage provided by the first CTAT sensing element compares favorably with the selected one of the first or second threshold voltages.
