Title: Multi-time programmable non-volatile memory cell
Inventor: Farrokh Kia Omid-Zohoor
IPC: H01L27/112
Filed: 2016-01-21
Abstract: A non-volatile programmable bitcell 310(m,n) has a read enable (access) device 312 (612 fig 6) with a source coupled with a bitline BLm, an anti-fuse device 314 (614) (or MOS Capacitor) with a gate coupled to a first write line WPn, a source S coupled with a drain D of the read enable (access) device 312a, and a drain D coupled to a supply voltage or left floating or connected to one terminal of a fuse device 316. The bitcell has a fuse device 316 coupled between a second write line (which may alternatively be a second bitline BLm) and the drain of the anti-fuse device 314 or alternatively (616 fig 6) to the drain of the read enable device, and source of the anti-fuse device). The configuration allows for two time programming of the memory device, first by electrically blowing the fuse device 316 (616), then secondly by electrically blowing the anti-fuse device 314 (614), equating to storage of two bits of data in the memory device. Reading is performed by sensing the current in bitline BLm, when the write read line is high and device 312 (612) enabled. The sense current is dependent both on (1) a voltage level applied to the first write line WPn and anti-fuse device state and on (2) a voltage level applied to the second write (bit) line BLm and fuse device state. Application of the invention include memory arrays such as FPGA configurations. The bitcell can be used as a two time or multi-time programmable element (TTP, MTP). The anti-fuse device may be an MOSFET device including a silicon on insulator MOSFET device or an MOS capacitor, both exploiting the breakdown properties of a thin oxide. The fuse device may be a resistor or the silicide interconnect associated with the drain of the anti-fuse device, or a via or terminal connector.

Title: Memory protection logic
Inventor: FRANK AUNE
IPC: G06F21/78
Filed: 2016-12-05
Abstract: A resettable microcontroller (e.g. of an integrated radio) comprises a processor, a memory, a memory bus and memory protection logic. The microcontroller is arranged to clear a set of memory-protection configuration registers whenever the microcontroller is reset. The memory protection logic is arranged to access the set of memory protection configuration registers and is configured to monitor memory access requests on the bus, detect when a memory access request attempts to access a memory address in a protectable region of the memory, determine whether the memory access request satisfies an access criterion that depends on data stored in the set of memory-protection configuration registers, and block the memory access request when the access criterion is not satisfied. The memory protection logic is also arranged to prevent writing to any memory-protection configuration register unless the memory-protection configuration register is in a cleared state. This may be determined by a re-write controller of the memory protection logic that determines whether the data contained within the memory-protection configuration are different from the cleared value. The access criteria may be written by a bootloader arranged to read cryptographic data from the protectable region, and executed after a reset and before any other instructions.

Title: An apparatus and method for determining a recovery point from which to resume instruction execution following handling of an unexpected change in instruction
Inventor: KIM RICHARD SCHUTTENBERG
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2018-03-06
Abstract: An apparatus comprises processing circuitry 10 which has an associated instruction set architecture, and is arranged to execute software comprising instructions defined by the instruction set architecture. Control circuitry 25 controls the operation of the processing circuitry according to constraints defined by the instruction set architecture, which in turn defines a default recovery point constraint for determining a recovery point from which to resume instruction execution following handling of an unexpected change in instruction flow. The control circuitry is responsive to information derived from the software executing on the processing circuitry to detect a recovery point relaxation condition, and responsive to it to allow determination of the recovery point unconstrained by the default recovery point constraint. The recovery point relaxation condition may be determined when information derived from software executing on the processing circuitry identifies repeatable memory access instructions, and in the presence of the recovery point relaxation condition the control circuitry may be arranged to cause an increase the number of instructions executed between recovery points for which execution state is retained.
