Abstract: An apparatus for obfuscating power consumption associated with one or more operations of a logic circuitry of a processor. The apparatus comprises counterbalance circuitry configured to provide a second power consumption to directly counterbalance the power consumption associated with the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The second power consumption varies inversely with the power consumption associated with the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The apparatus further comprises header circuitry configured to enable a common node to vary in voltage corresponding to the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The counterbalance circuitry and the header circuitry are each coupled to the logic circuitry at the common node.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include converter circuitry that operates to provide a drive current. The integrated circuit may include process detector circuitry having multiple drive strength devices that are driven by the drive current from the converter circuitry. The multiple drive strength devices may provide multiple drive strength signals based on the drive current. The integrated circuit may include comparator circuitry having a comparator that receives the multiple drive strength signals from the multiple drive strength devices, detects a voltage difference between the multiple drive strength signals, and provides an output signal based on the detected voltage difference.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit for brown-out detection. The integrated circuit may include a first stage configured to receive an input voltage and provide a first voltage independent of temperature while remaining related to the input voltage. The integrated circuit may include a second stage configured to receive the input voltage, receive the first voltage from the first stage, and up-convert the first voltage as input voltage lowers. The second stage may be configured to provide a second voltage corresponding to a differential voltage of the input voltage and the first voltage. The integrated circuit may include a third stage configured to receive the second voltage and provide a high-gain output voltage corresponding to an error signal.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and method of operation thereof are provided for converting an analog signal to a digital signal. The ADC utilizes Correlated Electron Material (CEM) devices that may contain a transition metal oxide (TMO), such as Nickel Oxide (NiO). The ADC may include an interconnect circuit that is operable to couple a power supply to the CEM devices. The power supply is controlled to program the resistance of the CEM devices and thereby control performance characteristics of the ADC.

Abstract: Many kinds of filters are found in electronic circuits and provide a range of signal processing applications. Such filters can be passive, active, analog or digital and work across a range of frequencies. Present techniques provide an electronic filter circuit comprising resistive and capacitive elements, wherein a resistive element of the filter circuit is provided by a correlated electron material device.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include a comparator stage, a resistor, a capacitor, and active switches arranged to provide a clock signal having a time period that is independent of a first source voltage. Independence may be achieved by using a second source voltage derived from the first source voltage as a fixed ratio.
