External NOR Flash Protection

Overview

PUFxip is the extension function available for PUFcc, extending the Hardware Root of Trust to protect critical assets in the NOR Flash. PUFxip can widen an SoC’s secure boundary based on our highly reliable PUF technology widely available across all major foundries.

Key Features

  • PUFxip is designed to provide the execution-in-place (XiP) capability of encrypted instructions in flash memory.
  • The real-time decryption and execution enhance SoC’s efficiency, and it is commonly used with external NOR storage.
