  • Publication number: 20230185748
    Abstract: A Secure Enclave SiP (SE-SiP) is disclosed. The SE-SiP provides all the security benefits of a system designed using a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), replaces the need to trust a general-purpose CPU chip vendor with the need to trust a much simpler more trustworthy configurable device, and replaces the need to trust the entire system motherboard manufacturer with the much more limited need to trust the SE-SiP manufacturer. It can provide privacy for the software and data sent to the system, resident on it, or retrieved from it, with respect to all parties—including the person/party in physical possession of the device.

  • Patent number: 11502030
    Abstract: A substrate for a SIP is that has a portion of its top surface covered with spaced apart electrically conductive landing pads for electrical connection to components located on the surface and the landing pads serve as interconnection pads for making electrical connections between at least a portion of said pads when interconnected by a segment of bond wire to form at least a portion of the SIP. Methods for use of the universal substrate in SIP system design and manufacture of a SIP.

  • Patent number: 11171651
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a mixed signal computer unit using a combination of analog and digital components/elements in a cohesive manner. Depending on the signals and data that need to be processed, the analog processing elements and digital processing elements may be used separately, independently or in combination to optimize the computational results and the performance of the computation. Operations may be controlled by one or more digital cores.
