Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate having a rear face. A first semiconductor well within the substrate includes circuit components. A second semiconductor well within the substrate is insulated from the first semiconductor well and the rest of the substrate. The second semiconductor well provides a detection device that is configurable and designed, in a first configuration, to detect a thinning of the substrate via its rear face, and in a second configuration, to detect a DFA attack by fault injection into the integrated circuit.

Abstract: A method of real-time scene detection performed by a wireless communication device includes, performing a first scene detection measurement to determine that the wireless communication device is located in a first scene. The first scene detection measurement is performed at first instant in time. The first scene is a type of environment. The method further includes associating the first scene with a corresponding reference scene of a predetermined set of reference scenes, determining a reference duration associated with the corresponding reference scene, and performing a second scene detection measurement immediately following expiration of the reference duration measured from the first instant in time.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a switched-mode power supply having a first operating phase during which the output node of the switched-mode power supply is coupled by an on switch to a source of a first reference voltage. The first operating phase is followed by a second operation phase during which the output node of the switched-mode power supply is in a high impedance state. While in the second operating phase, a capacitor connected to the output node of the switched-mode power supply at least partially discharges into a load.

Abstract: A first power supply rail is provided as a power supply tree configured with couplings to distribute a supply voltage to active elements of the circuit. A second power supply rail is provided as an electrostatic discharge channel and is not configured with distribution tree couplings to active elements of the circuit. A first electrostatic discharge circuit is directly electrically connected between one end of the second power supply rail and a ground rail. A second electrostatic discharge circuit is directly electrically connected between an interconnect node and the ground rail. The interconnect node electrically interconnects another end of the second power supply rail to the first power supply rail at the second electrostatic discharge circuit.

Abstract: Cryptographic circuitry, in operation, performs a calculation on a first number and a second number. The performing of the calculation is protected by breaking the second number into a plurality of third numbers, a sum of values of the third numbers being equal to a value of the second number. The calculation is performed bit by bit for each rank of the third numbers. Functional circuitry, coupled to the cryptographic circuitry, uses a result of the calculation.

Abstract: The disclosure includes a method of authenticating a processor that includes an arithmetic and logic unit. At least one decoded operand of at least a portion of a to-be-executed opcode is received on a first terminal of the arithmetic and logic unit. A signed instruction is received on a second terminal of the arithmetic and logic unit. The signed instruction combines a decoded instruction of the to-be-executed opcode and a previous calculation result of the arithmetic and logic unit.

Abstract: An electronic integrated circuit chip includes a first transistor arranged inside and on top of a solid substrate, a second transistor arranged inside and on top of a layer of semiconductor material on insulator having a first thickness, and a third transistor arranged inside and on top of a layer of semiconductor material on insulator having a second thickness. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness. The solid substrate extends underneath the layers of semiconductor material and is insulated from those layers by the insulator.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes reducing a size of at least one initial parameter of each layer of an initial multilayer neural network to obtain for each layer a set of new parameters defining a new neural network, wherein each new parameter of the set of new parameters has its data represented in two portions comprising an integer portion and a fractional portion; implementing the new neural network using a test input data set applied only once to each layer; determining a distribution function or a density function resulting from the set of new parameters for each layer; and based on the determined distribution function or density function, adjusting a size of a memory area allocated to the fractional portion and a size of the memory area allocated to the integer portion of each new parameter associated with each layer.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a logic circuit and an auxiliary circuit. The logic circuit includes a first terminal coupled to a supply voltage terminal, a second terminal intended coupled to a reference voltage terminal and an output terminal configured to deliver a signal in a high state or a low state. The auxiliary circuit is coupled between the first terminal and the second terminal and is configured to randomly generate or not generate an additional current between the first terminal and the second terminal on each change of state of the signal on the output terminal.
