  • Publication number: 20230109011
    Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus can include a memory resource and hardware logic to analyze a plurality of configuration settings associated with a non-volatile storage bit array controlling access to a hardware logic device. In response to detecting an inconsistency in the configuration settings during analysis, the hardware logic device can be placed in a most secure mode to resist a security threat.

  • Publication number: 20230106636
    Abstract: Secure circuitry detects a number of memory transactions matching a specified pattern on a bus between a processor external to the secure circuitry and a memory external to the secure circuitry. The secure circuitry detects a cumulative size of the memory transactions matching the specified pattern on the bus between the processor and the memory. In response to either or both of the number of the memory transactions being outside a number range and the cumulative size being outside a size range, the secure circuitry performs an action.

  • Publication number: 20230102435
    Abstract: Secure circuitry detects a latency between when an interrupt occurred and when the interrupt was released in correspondence with handling of the interrupt. The secure circuitry detects an interval between consecutive occurrences of the interrupt. In response to either or both of the latency exceeding a latency limit and the interval exceeding an interval limit, the secure circuitry performs an action.

  • Patent number: 6441579
    Abstract: An available input of to a motor controller is used to measure the motor power supply voltage. Typically, a scaled down version of the voltage is sensed. The microprocessor is used to calculate the motor control current, in that case, is then calculated from the scaled down version. A scale factor that depends upon the sensitivity of the motor current to the motor supply voltage is calculated by the microprocessor. Driving parameters in the controller are then adjusted to account for the scale factor. In a preferred embodiment, the driving parameters are PWM parameters, and the microprocessor multiplies the measured power supply voltage to obtain a scale factor that can then be multiplied by the nominal PWM values to obtain the new PWM values.
