Abstract
This letter describes a delta-sigma ADC-based power-side-channel-attack sensor. Use of 64 sampling capacitors allows the use of over-sampling architecture even with a decoupling capacitor connected to the power supply. The LDO with low-leakage S/H is used as a driver for the integrator’s amplifier to minimize the offset error. A differential conversion method utilizing dual-integrate capacitors (CAPs) provides signal processing to compensate for drift due to supply voltage (VDD) variations. The prototype sensor chip fabricated in 65-nm CMOS has a worst-case detection accuracy of 98.7%, including VDD variations, for an insertion resistance >${=}0.25~\Omega $ and a power consumption of $50~\mu $ W at 1.0-V operation.
这封信描述了一种基于delta-sigma adc的功率侧信道攻击传感器。使用64个采样电容允许使用过采样架构,即使与电源连接的去耦电容。具有低漏S/H的LDO用作积分器放大器的驱动器,以最小化偏移误差。差分转换方法利用双积分电容器(CAPs)提供信号处理,以补偿由电源电压(VDD)变化引起的漂移。该传感器原型芯片采用65纳米CMOS工艺,最坏情况检测精度为98.7%, including VDD variations, for an insertion resistance > ${=}0.25~\Omega $ and a power consumption of $50~\mu $ W at 1.0-V operation.
