The invention discloses an integrated circuit (10) for securely storing a codeword. The value of the codeword is dependent on the mobility (μA, μB, μC) of at least one transistor (TRA, TRB, TRC) of the integrated circuit. The invention further discloses a reader means (15), a method for determining the value of the codeword from the integrated circuit (10), and a method for altering the value of the codeword.

An integrated circuit (1) comprises a monitor (M1, M3, M3) operable to produce monitor data in dependence upon a measured parameter of the integrated circuit (1); and a self test controller (28) connected to receive monitor data from the monitor (M1, M2, M3). The self-test controller is also operable to output self test data from the integrated circuit. The monitor includes an output shift register (SR1, SR2, SR3) and is operable to output monitor data through the shift register (SR1, SR2, SR3). Such a system enables simplified communication of system self test results on an integrated circuit.

A flash analog-to-digital converter comprises a resistive string powered by a reference voltage source for providing a set of equidistant reference voltages and a set of comparators for comparing the analog input signal with the reference voltages. A set of switches are arranged and controlled to perform an algorithm for mitigating the influence of mismatches between the components. The switches are arranged between the reference voltage source and the resistive string so that switches in the reference inputs to the comparators are avoided. The resistive string is preferably circular. The converter can handle differential signals.

An integrated circuit is provided with a distributed supply voltage monitoring system in which a single controller controls a plurality of voltage monitors located in respective modules of the integrated circuit. The controller and each circuit form a successive approximation analogue to digital converter Such a system enables a small size monitoring circuit to be realized for every module of the integrated circuit.

For a comb filter arrangement, for example, for separating a color picture signal into a modulated chrominance subcarrier and a luminance signal, while generating two comb filter function, a one-stage median filter (21) is provided in which the amplitudes of the simultaneously available signals of three picture lines and the two comb filter functions are compared with each other in a comparator stage which supplies logical comparison signals to a selection logic (30) in dependence upon the comparison results. The selection logic (30) constantly determines the signal having the middle instantaneous amplitude of the signals applied to the comparator stage on the basis of the comparison signals, and applies this signal to the medium filter output.
