INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18362879 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an integrated circuit that includes inverters, memory cells, and an error correction code decoder.

  • The inverters receive check bits and generate additional check bits.
  • The memory cells store data and check bits.
  • The error correction code decoder detects or corrects errors in the data or check bits.
  • The decoder generates output data and a signal indicating a reset attack by a user.


Original Abstract Submitted

An integrated circuit includes a first set of inverters configured to receive a first set of check bits, and to generate a second set of check bits, a first memory cell array including a first portion of memory cells configured to store a first set of data, and a second portion of memory cells configured to store the second set of check bits, a second set of inverters to receive a third set of check bits, and to generate a fourth set of check bits, and an error correction code decoder configured to detect or correct an error in a second set of data or the fourth set of check bits thereby generating a set of output data and a been-attacked signal. The second set of data corresponds to the first set of data. The been-attacked signal indicates a reset attack by a user.
