Temperature Glitch Detector

The agileTGLITCH temperature monitor provides security and protection against side-channel attacks (SCAs) and tampering such as over/under temperature attacks and temperature glitching. The sensor provides digital outputs to warn (secure) processors of intrusion attempts. As a key part of the agileSCA TVC (Temperature, Voltage, Clock) security sensor can be tuned to your specifications. It 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.
