Abstract: A sample is analyzed to determine a set of events that should be selected for performing by a dynamic analyzer executing the sample in an instrumented, emulated environment. The set of selected events is performed. In some cases, at least one emulator detection resistance action is performed. A maliciousness verdict is determined for the sample based at least in part on one or more responses taken by the sample in response to the set of selected events being performed by the dynamic analyzer.

Abstract: A flyback converter control architecture is provided in which primary-only feedback techniques are used to ensure smooth startup and detection of fault conditions. During steady-state operation, secondary-side regulation is employed. In addition, current limits are monitored during steady-state operation using primary-only feedback techniques to obviate the need for a secondary-side current sense resistor.

Abstract: A switching power converter is provided that communicates with a mobile device to receive a value of a load detection current. The switching power converter adjusts the cycling of a power switch until a constant current mode of operation is entered with a known output current driving the mobile device. The switching power converter subtracts the load current from the output current to measure a soft-short circuit current.
