Abstract: A voltage detection circuit includes a tunable delay circuit that receives a supply voltage and that generates a delayed signal in response to an input signal. A control circuit causes a first adjustment in a delay provided by the tunable delay circuit to the delayed signal. An error detection circuit generates an error indication in an error signal in response to a change in a timing of the delayed signal relative to a clock signal caused by the first adjustment in the delay provided to the delayed signal. The control circuit causes a second adjustment in the delay provided by the tunable delay circuit to the delayed signal in response to the error indication. The error detection circuit causes the error signal to be indicative of the supply voltage reaching a threshold voltage after the second adjustment in the delay.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) is provided for in-situ anomaly detection. Sensors in the IC generates sensor datasets including information indicating conditions in the IC. A processing unit in the IC uses a sensor dataset and a model to detect and classify the anomaly. The processing unit may filter the sensor dataset, extract features from the filtered sensor dataset, and input the features into the model. The model outputs one or more classifications of the anomaly. A feature may be a distance vector that represents a difference between a data value in the filtered sensor dataset from a reference data value. The model may be a network of bit-cells in the IC. The model may be continuously trained in-situ, i.e., on the IC. The processing unit may provide the classifications to another processing unit in the IC. The other processing unit may mitigate the anomaly based on the classifications.

Abstract: A detection circuit includes a tunable delay circuit that generates a delayed signal and that receives a supply voltage. The detection circuit includes a control circuit that adjusts a delay provided by the tunable delay circuit to the delayed signal. The detection circuit includes a time-to-digital converter circuit that converts the delay provided by the tunable delay circuit to the delayed signal to a digital code and adjusts the digital code based on changes in the supply voltage. The control circuit causes the tunable delay circuit to maintain the delay provided to the delayed signal constant in response to the digital code reaching an alignment value. The detection circuit may continuously monitor timing margin of a data signal relative to a clock signal and update the digital code in every clock cycle. The detection circuit may be a security sensor that detects changes in the supply voltage.
