Power rail noise monitoring to detect attempted security tampering or side channel attacks

An apparatus and method for detecting a change in electrical properties in a system is disclosed. Embodiments of the disclosure enable the detection of a change in electrical properties in a system by, in response to a load generated on a power delivery network power in at least part of the system, measuring noise induced in the power delivery network in response to the load. Based on the measured noise, a dynamic-response property of the power delivery network is determined and the dynamic-response property is compared to a stored reference dynamic-response property of the power delivery network based on a predetermined load. In the event of a difference between the dynamic-response property and the reference dynamic-response property, a response to the event is triggered to indicate tampering with the power delivery network.

TECHNIQUE FOR ENABLING ON-DIE NOISE MEASUREMENT DURING ATE TESTING AND IST

Introduced herein is a technique that reliably measures on-die noise of logic in a chip. The introduced technique places a noise measurement system in partitions of the chip that are expected to cause the most noise. The introduced technique utilizes a continuous free-running clock that feeds functional frequency to the noise measurement circuit throughout the noise measurement scan test. This allows the noise measurement circuit to measure the voltage noise of the logic during a shift phase, which was not possible in the conventional noise measurement method. Also, by being able to measure the voltage noise during a shift phase and hence in both phases of the scan test, the introduced technique can perform a more comprehensive noise measurement not only during ATE testing but as part of IST in the field.
