    摘要: An integrated circuit (10) comprises a scan chain (14) with parallel inputs and outputs coupled to a functional circuit (12a-c). A scan chain modifying circuit (43, 47, 70a-c) is provided coupled to the scan chain (14). When testing is authorized the scan chain modifying circuit operates in a mode wherein a normal shift path is provided through the scan chain. When testing is not authorized the scan chain modifying circuit (43, 47, 70a-c) operates to effect spontaneous dynamic changes in the shift path, which dynamically vary the length of the shift path between external terminals of the integrated circuit while shifting takes place. In an embodiment the dynamical variations are controlled by a running key comparison. In other embodiments running key comparison is used to disable transfer through the scan chain and/or operation of functional circuits.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (10) comprises a functional circuit (12a-c) that contain information that must be secured against unauthorized access. The integrated circuit comprises a test access circuit (14, 16) coupled to the functional circuit (12a-c), and a plurality of fuse elements (18) coupled to the test access circuit (14, 16). The fuse elements (18) are connected in a circuit configuration that makes the functional circuit (12a-c) consistently accessible via the test access circuit (14, 16) only when first fuse elements (18) of the plurality are in a blown state and second fuse elements (18) of the plurality are in a not-blown state. As a result the integrated circuit can be tested after selectively blowing all of the first fuse elements (18). After testing at least part of the second fuse elements (18) is blown. As a result, a person that does not know which fuse elements are first fuse elements and which are second fuse elements is presented with difficulties to restore the integrated circuit to a state where test access with the danger of access to the secured information is possible.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of compressing information for storage in a fixed size memory. The data items (D(k)) that constitute the information are divided into pieces (D(s,k)) of decreasing significance. For example, the DCT blocks of an image are hierarchically quantized (3). The memory (5) is organized in corresponding memory layers (501-504). Successive memory layers have a decreasing number of memory locations. Every time a data item is applied to the memory, its less significant data pieces will have to compete with corresponding data pieces of previously stored data items. Depending on its contribution to perceptual image quality, the applied data piece is stored or the stored data piece is kept. Links (511-513, 521-522) are stored in the memory to identify the path along which a data item is stored. Eventually, the image is automatically compressed so as to exactly fit in the memory.
