  • Current signature jammer of an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 12039092
    Abstract: The present description concerns an integrated circuit including, between first and second terminals having a first voltage applied therebetween, a load configured to execute instructions, a circuit for delivering a digital signal having at least two bits from a binary signal and a current output digital-to-analog converter controlled by the digital signal and coupled between the first and second terminals in parallel with the load.
    Type: Grant

  • Detection of disturbances of a power supply
    Patent number: 10670666
    Abstract: A circuit includes, in series between a first terminal and a second terminal of application of a power supply voltage, and first and second branches. The first branch includes a first transistor and a first current source coupled to the first transistor. The second branch includes a resistive element, a second transistor coupled to the resistive element and forming a current mirror with the first transistor and a second current source coupled to the second transistor. The resistive element conditions a threshold of detection of a variation of the power supply voltage.
