    Abstract: A nested wrap-around technology includes an address counter and associated logic for generating addresses to perform a nested wrap-around access operation. The nested wrap-around access operation may be a read or a write operation. A wrap-around section length and a wrap-around count define a wrap-around block. A wrap starting address, initially set to a supplied start address, is offset from a lower boundary of a wrap-around section. Access starts at a wrap starting address and proceeds in a wrap-around manner within a wrap-around section. After access of the address immediately preceding the wrap starting address, the wrap starting address is incremented by the wrap-around section length, or, if the wrap-around section is the last one in the wrap-around block, the wrap starting address is set to the lower boundary of the wrap-around block plus the offset. Access continues until a termination event.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a pad adapted to receive a signal from an external driver. A state register is programmed with a state that indicates a voltage level to set for the pad during initialization of circuitry on the integrated circuit device responsive to the state for the pad. The voltage level may correspond to a logic low level or a logic high level. A voltage holding circuit is coupled to the pad and the state register, and is configured to force the pad to the voltage level in response to an event that causes the initialization.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, circuits, devices, and apparatus including computer-readable mediums for managing tamper detections in secure memory devices. In one aspect, a secure memory device includes: a memory cell array, one or more tamper detectors each configured to detect a respective type of tamper event on at least part of the secure memory device, and a tamper detection status register storing one or more values each indicating a tamper detection status detected by a corresponding tamper detector. The secure memory device can include a command interface coupled to the tamper detection status register and configured to output the values stored in the tamper detection status register when receiving a trigger. The secure memory device can also include an output pin coupled to the tamper detection status register and be configured to automatically output the values stored in the tamper detection status register via the output pin.
