Overview

The agileVGLITCH voltage monitor provides security and protection against voltage side-channel attacks (SCA) and tampering such as supply voltage changes/glitches and power supply manipulation. The sensor provides digital outputs to warn (secure) processors of intrusion attempts, thus enabling a holistic approach to hardware security. As a key part of the agileSCA TVC (Temperature, Voltage, Clock) security sensor can be tuned to your specifications and is ideally suited for security and monitoring in applications such as in IoT, Security, Automotive, Medical, AI and general SoCs and ASICs.

Agile Analog designs are based on tried and tested architectures to ensure reliability and functionality. Our design methodology is programmatic, systematic and repeatable leading to analog IP that is more verifiable, more robust and more reliable. Our methodology also allows us to quickly re-target our IP to different process options. We support all the major foundries including TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Intel Foundry, Samsung Foundry, UMC and Other Foundries.

Synopsys Expands Collaboration with Arm to Accelerate the Automotive Industry’s Transformation to Software-Defined Vehicles

Rising software complexity, tighter development timelines, and cost pressures require automotive companies to re-engineer how they design, deploy, and maintain their system architectures. Addressing these challenges requires an agile, collaborative approach to engineering — from silicon to systems — along with trusted partners capable of delivering powerful, integrated solutions.

Designing FPGA Based Reliable Systems Using Virtex-5 System Monitor

The fast track development and 24x7 operations have put tremendous pressure on the servers, networking systems and communication equipments. It has become necessary that these systems should operate reliably irrespective of the change in external operating environment like the temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations or, on chip conditions like on-chip temperature, internal voltage levels etc. Measuring the reliability of these physical systems is must for every operational unit.
