This book provides readers with insight into an alternative approach for
enhancing the reliability, security, and low power features of
integrated circuit designs, related to transient faults, hardware
Trojans, and power consumption. The authors explain how the addition of
integrated sensors enables the detection of ionizing particles and how
this information can be processed at a high layer. The discussion also
includes a variety of applications, such as the detection of hardware
Trojans and fault attacks, and how sensors can operate to provide
different body bias levels and reduce power costs. Readers can benefit
from these sensors-based approaches through designs with fast response
time, non-intrusive integration on gate-level and reasonable design
costs.
