Publication number: 20240187209Abstract: A data encryption method using linear-feedback shift registers (LFSRs) is disclosed. The method includes identifying one or more objects each of which comprises a sequence of object bits, and using each object to generate a plurality of logic blocks by: creating an LFSR seed comprising at least a portion of the object bits of the object, wherein the LFSR seed provides an initial state of an LFSR; implementing the LFSR to generate a plurality of LFSR outputs; and using the LFSR outputs to generate the logic blocks. The method also includes encrypting a plurality of data blocks in accordance with an encryption scheme that applies a screen and the LFSR-generated logic blocks. The encrypted data blocks may then be decrypted in accordance with a decryption scheme that applies an inverse screen and the same LFSR-generated logic blocks that were used in the encryption scheme.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: JASON McNUTT, AMY J.

Publication number: 20240118725Abstract: An adaptive voltage converter adapted to compensate for the exponential sensitivities of sub-threshold and near-threshold circuits. The converter can change its power/performance characteristics between different energy modes. The converter may comprise two or more voltage converters/regulators. A multiplexing circuit selects between the outputs of the several converters/regulators depending on the state of a control signal generated by a control facility. The converter is specially adapted to change the output of each converter/regulator based on a number of variables, including, for example, process corner, temperature and input voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Ambiq Micro, Inc.Inventor: Scott Hanson
