Positive and negative voltage-glitch detector protecting against fault-injection attacks

Overview

The Voltage Glitch Detector is a fully integrated analog IP intended to monitor the voltage supply so as to protect the system against fault injection attacks.

Key Features

  • detection of the positive and negative supply voltage glitches
  • slope detection range: 100 MV/s to 2 GV/s (customized on request)
  • adjustable detection threshold through a specific bus
  • latched alarm signals
  • monitoring of core or external supply voltage range (distinct versions)
  • typical operating consumption current smaller than 5 µA
  • operating junction temperature range: -40°C to 125°C
  • typical silicon area smaller than 0.02 mm²
  • proven track record through mass production in a 150 nm CMOS process
  • silicon proven in 150 nm, 130 nm, 110 nm and 65 nm CMOS process
