Integrated circuit with electromagnetic energy anomaly detection and processing

摘要

An integrated circuit includes an antenna, a die manufactured from a semiconducting material, an RF energy collection and processing device disposed on or within the die and including at least a receiver and a processing device, an input configured to supply power to said RF energy collection and processing device and an output for operative communication by said RF energy collection and processing device. The integrated circuit is configurable and operable to provide at least one of electromagnetic emission anomaly detection, tamper detection, anti-tamper monitoring, degradation monitoring, health monitoring, counterfeit detection, software changes monitoring, firmware changes monitoring and monitoring of other RF energy anomalies.

1. An integrated circuit comprising:
(a) a die manufactured from a semiconducting material; (b) a radio frequency (RF) energy collection and processing means disposed on or within said die and including at least a receiver receiving an emission of RF energy and a processing means processing a signature of said emission in time and frequency domains, so as to determine one or more anomalous operating characteristics of said integrated circuit attributable to said emission; (c) an input configured to supply power to said RF energy collection and processing means; and (d) an output for operative communication by said RF energy collection and processing means.
