Various systems may benefit from interfaces for handling multiple types of inputs. For example, a device with a trigger input from an external device may benefit from an isolated logic level trigger that is capable of addressing multiple types and values of voltage. An apparatus can include an input configured to receive an external trigger input signal having a trigger input voltage. The apparatus can also include circuitry configured to automatically adjust the trigger input voltage to a value configured to be compatible with a provided attached system. A working range of the trigger input voltage can exceed a compatible working range of the provided attached system.

Multi-voltage to isolated logic level trigger

A method is provided for intentionally permanently disabling a target device. The target device comprises an integrated circuit having one or more electronic devices, where the target device is disabled by destroying at least one or more electronic devices. The method comprises charging at least one capacitor in an integrated circuit disabling device, detecting when at least one capacitor is charged, and selecting at least one target signal path associated with the target device for disabling. The method further includes connecting the integrated circuit disabling device to the target signal path and rapidly discharging at least one capacitor to the selected target signal path. The discharging step may apply a high energy impulse to destroy the one or more electronic devices of the target device.

Deliberate destruction of integrated circuits

An instruction accelerator which includes an instruction source, and a single instruction multiple data array processor which executes the instructions supplied by the instruction source. A loop processor identifies all loop type instructions which are supplied by the instruction source, copies those instructions supplied by the instruction source into a loop memory, and supplies those loop instructions to the single instruction multiple data array processor in the order received, at the rate required by the single instruction multiple data array processor, and as many times as required by the loop count field.
