    摘要: A method of securing a design-for-test scan chain within a programmable integrated circuit device (IC) can include placing the programmable IC in an operational mode and responsive to a request to access a scan chain within the programmable IC, selectively enabling a secure mode within the programmable IC according to a configuration state of the programmable IC. Enabling secure mode within the programmable IC can provide access to the scan chain. Responsive to enabling the secure mode, the programmable IC can remain in the secure mode and be prevented from re-entering the operational mode until the programmable IC is power cycled.

    摘要: When a first sub-circuit of a programmable integrated circuit (“IC”) is to be deactivated, a global write enable (GWE) signal is deasserted. In response to deassertion of the GWE signal and a first memory cell associated with the first sub-circuit being in a first state, flip-flops in the first sub-circuit are disabled from changing state. In response to memory cells associated with sub-circuits other than the first sub-circuit being in a second state, flip-flops in the other sub-circuits are enabled to change state. When the first sub-circuit is to be activated, the GWE signal is asserted. Logic implemented by the first sub-circuit is preserved between the deasserting and the asserting of the GWE signal. In response to assertion of the GWE signal and the first memory cell associated with the first sub-circuit being in the first state, flip-flops in the first sub-circuit are enabled to change state.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for the protection of memory within an integrated circuit (IC) are provided for various phases of operation of the IC. Various portions of sensitive data may be contained within battery backed random access memory (RAM) (310), which may then be protected using either a passive, or an active, zeroization sequence depending upon the phase of operation of the IC. In an idle state, detection circuit (324) senses a drop in battery power (VBATT) to launch active destruction of RAM (310) memory using active zeroization circuits (312 and 314). In a configuration state, detection circuit (402) or (504) senses a drop in battery power (VBATT) to launch active destruction of RAM (310) memory using active zeroization circuits (312 and 314). In an operational state, various methods may be employed to detect and counteract the unauthorized access to RAM (310).

In one approach, a circuit arrangement includes programmable resources, frames of configuration memory cells, and partial configuration control memory cells. Each frame includes a plurality of subsets of configuration memory cells, and each subset configures one of the programmable resources.
