A hardware memory includes at least one memory cell, peripheral circuitry and randomization circuitry. The memory cell(s) store data, which may be written to, read from and held in the hardware memory. The peripheral circuitry reads and writes data to the memory cell(s) and may perform other functions necessary for facilitating the data read, write and hold. The randomization circuitry randomizes operations performed by the peripheral circuitry to reduce a correlation between the data and the current consumed by the hardware memory.

Secured memory

A logic element includes a logic block, a supply voltage input, switchable power gates and a gate selector. The logic block implements a logic function on input data to obtain at least one output data signal. The switchable power gates transfer a supply voltage from the supply voltage input to the logic block in accordance with respective gate control signals. At least two of the power gates have different respective electrical properties. The gate selector switches on differing ones of the power gates in accordance with gate selection data.

Pseudo-asynchronous digital circuit design

A logic element includes a logic block, a clock generator, a clock assigner and at least one sampling element. The logic block implements a logic function on input data to obtain a plurality output data signals. The output data signals are sampled by respective clock signals. The clock generator generates phase-shifted clock signals from a reference clock signal. The clock assigner assigns differing ones of the phase-shifted clock signals to respective output data signals. The sampling element(s) sample the output data signals in accordance with the respective assigned phase-shifted clock signals.

A method of designing a logic circuit with data-dependent delays is performed using an electronic design automation system. The logic circuit includes logic paths from logic inputs to at least one logic output. The method includes:
