    Abstract: A semiconductor chip may have at least one p-channel field effect transistor (FET), at least one n-channel FET, a first and a second power supply terminal, wherein the at least one n-channel FET, if supplied with the upper supply potential at its gate, supplies the lower supply potential to the gate of the at least one p-channel FET and the at least one p-channel FET, if supplied with the lower supply potential at its gate, supplies the upper supply potential to the gate of the at least one n-channel FET, a precharge circuit to precharge the circuit to a first state, and a detection circuit configured to output an alarm signal if the circuit enters a second state.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an integrated electronic circuit has a switching network configured to receive binary control states, one or more secret-carrying gates, wherein each secret-carrying gate represents Boolean secrets and is configured to receive binary input states and to output one or more Boolean secrets according to a state sequence of the binary input states, and one or more flip-flops configured to store binary output states output by the switching network and to supply binary input states to the one or more secret-carrying gates based on the stored binary output states. The switching network generates the binary output states by combining the binary control states and Boolean secrets output by the one or more secret-carrying gates. The integrated electronic circuit outputs Boolean secrets from the one or more secret-carrying gates and/or the binary output states from the switching network to another integrated electronic circuit.

    Abstract: A delay circuit includes an electronic transmission element with a first input and a first output. The first input is coupled to the first output by two first switches wired in parallel. The first switches each have a control input, a second input and a second output. The second input is coupled to the second output by two second switches wired in parallel. The circuit further includes an input circuit to receive an input signal and feed the input signal to one of the transmission element inputs and feed the inverted input signal to the other of the transmission element inputs, and an output circuit. The output circuit is configured such that the output signal only changes in the case of a change in the input signal if the change in the input signal has brought about a change both at the first output and at the second output.
