Abstract: In some examples, this disclosure describes a method of operating a circuit. The method may comprise performing a circuit function under normal operating conditions, wherein performing the circuit function under the normal operating conditions includes performing at least a portion of the circuit functions via a characteristic circuit, performing at least the portion of the circuit function under enhanced stress conditions via a characteristic circuit replica, and predicting a potential future problem with the circuit function under the normal conditions based on an evaluation of operation of the characteristic circuit relative to operation of the characteristic circuit replica.

Abstract: A microcontroller system includes a processing unit, a first peripheral having a first set of registers, and an assurance module. The first peripheral is configured to receive a first reset signal that resets the first set of registers to a first actual reset value, which is expected to be a first expected value. The assurance module is configured to calculate a first signature value, which is based on the first actual reset value, in response to the first reset signal. The processing unit is configured to perform a first comparison between the calculated first signature value and a pre-determined first signature value to determine whether the microcontroller system is in a trusted safety state. The first comparison is performed in response to the first reset signal, and the pre-determined first signature value is based on the first expected value.

Abstract: A method for configuring a storage circuit, including: writing data via an input line into the storage circuit by a software write access; writing a bit-wise inverted form of the data via the input line into the storage circuit by a subsequent software write access; and generating an error signal if a comparison based on the written data and the written bit-wise inverted form of the data indicates a storage circuit configuration error, wherein the storage circuit permits hardware read access and lacks software read access.

Abstract: In some examples, a circuit may be configured to perform a method that includes performing a circuit function via a circuit function unit of a circuit, receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with the circuit function unit, and estimating a remaining life of the circuit based on an accelerated reliability model and the sensor data, wherein the sensor data comprises input to the accelerated reliability model. The circuit itself may include a dedicated circuit unit that estimates the remaining life of the circuit based on an accelerated reliability model and the sensor data, and the circuit may output one or more predictive alerts or predictive faults when the remaining life is below a threshold, which may prompt the system for predictive maintenance on the circuit.
