Abstract: A circuit includes a divider circuit block configured to generate a trim term signal (VBG_TRIM) that is temperature and process independent. The circuit further includes a processing circuit block configured to multiply a temperature dependent reference voltage signal (TAP_GG) by a factor, and to sum the trim term signal with a result of the multiplication to generate an output reference voltage (VGG).

Abstract: First and second sensing circuits are coupled to first and second data lines, respectively, and sense levels of current leakage or a memory cell state on the first and second data lines. First and second keeper circuits are coupled to the first and second data lines, respectively, and drive the first and second data lines by a voltage supply through biased transistors. First and second leakage latches are coupled to receive and latch state of signals output from the first and second sensing circuits, respectively. A control circuit is coupled to the first leakage latch, second leakage latch, and outputs of the first and second sensing circuits. The control circuit is configured to select either the signal output from the first sensing circuit or the signal output from the second sensing circuit in response to states of the first and second leakage latches.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a memory cell (e.g., a SRAM memory cell) that includes power selection logic for disconnecting storage inverters from a reference voltage source when writing data into the cell. In one embodiment, the memory cells may be disposed long distances (e.g., more than 100 microns) from the data drivers in the integrated circuit which can result in the data lines having large RC time constants. In one embodiment, disconnecting the memory cells from a power supply may counter (or mitigate) the large RC time constants of the data lines.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a glitch detection circuit monitoring a duration that a selected fractional supply voltage is below a predetermined voltage threshold. The selected fractional supply voltage may be at the predetermined threshold when the supply voltage is between a valid circuit-supply voltage and a power-on circuit-reset (POR). A glitch detect signal may be generated, for example, when the monitored duration is greater than a predetermined duration threshold. A test glitch generator may generate a test glitch, for example, having selectable voltage and duration, which may be selectably applied to the glitch detection circuit to verify operation. Various exemplary glitch detection circuits may advantageously determine externally produced tampering attempts by detecting circuit-supply voltages and durations that meet specific selectable supply voltage and duration criteria, improving security of sensitive field programmable gate array (FPGA) data by taking protective action in response to the detection.

Abstract: A device for controlling a power-on reset signal can include a constant current source, for controlling a reference current that is independent of a supply voltage, and a trip point detector circuit driven by the reference current. The trip point detector circuit detects when the supply voltage of the device exceeds a first trip point voltage, and de-asserts the power-on reset signal when the supply voltage exceeds the first trip point voltage. The first trip point voltage can be controlled by a sum of a threshold voltage of a first n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor, a voltage drop across a first resistor, and a threshold voltage of a first p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor. The device may further include a hysteresis circuit, for detecting when the supply voltage falls below a second trip point voltage and causing the trip point detector circuit to reassert the power-on reset signal.

Abstract: A device includes an amplifier, a plurality of selector circuitries, and a plurality of fabric dies. The amplifier is configured to output a supply power signal. Each selector circuitry of the plurality of selector circuitries receives the supply power signal from the amplifier. Each fabric die of the plurality of fabric dies has a corresponding selector circuitry of the plurality of selector circuitries. Each selector circuitry corresponding to a die of the plurality of dies is configured to provide the supply power signal received from the amplifier to its corresponding die responsive to a selection signal being asserted. Selector circuitries of the plurality of selector circuitries corresponding to unselected dies of the plurality of dies pull address supply power for the unselected dies to an input other than the supply power signal of the selector circuitries corresponding to the unselected die.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide a method for disabling a defective portion of a fabric die of a stacked IC device. The method includes receiving a signal indicating that a portion of a fabric die of a stacked IC device including at least two fabric dies is defective. The method further includes, in response to the signal, pulling a source voltage rail of the defective portion to ground, thereby disabling the portion, and operating the remainder of the fabric die without interference from or contention with the disabled portion. In one example, the stacked IC device is an active on active (AoA) device, and the portion of the fabric die includes a configuration memory cell. In one example, the signal is received after power-up of the stacked IC device.

Abstract: A cascaded thin-oxide N-Well voltage steering circuit includes a reference voltage generator that outputs a reference voltage within a range of first and second supply voltages, a first voltage steering circuit that outputs a higher available one of the reference voltage and the second supply voltage as an interim voltage, and a second voltage steering circuit that outputs a higher available one of the first voltage and the interim voltage at an output of the second voltage steering circuit. The interim voltage is applied to N-wells of PMOS transistors of the first voltage steering circuit. The output of the second voltage steering circuit is applied to N-wells of PMOS transistors of the second voltage steering circuit. The output of the second voltage steering circuit may also be applied to N-wells of PMOS transistors of other circuitry. The cascaded thin-oxide N-Well voltage steering circuit may consist substantially of thin-oxide PMOS transistors.
