EnsofIC™ Attest™ - Ensure it’s Genuine!
EnsofIC™ Attest™ is a non-destructive platform that can be used throughout the supply chain to ensure that FPGA parts and FPGA-based systems are genuine. Without the use of any external equipment, Attest™ platform employs machine learning and specially developed telemetry bitstreams to perform a characterization assessment of the parts or system. While imaging or other electronic counterfeit detection methods look at an image or limited facets of a part, Attest™ platform looks at the inner workings of a device to determine whether it is genuine. The result is applicable to a wider selection of part and device types including those already populated on a board, fielded in a system, or loose in the warehouse.
Ensure Your Supply Chain is Genuine
Current counterfeit detection methods are often destructive in addition to requiring external equipment. To determine if a batch of parts are counterfeit, a sample is usually taken, which is then tested and destroyed in the process. Often, detection is only possible on loose parts, and so these parts must be removed from their systems. While imaging solutions exist, they involve expensive testing devices.
EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform is a unique alternative because it analyzes repackaged counterfeit devices in a non-destructive manner with no external equipment, and can be tested anywhere. It can be used throughout the supply chain to ensure that parts and systems are genuine.
Have you already populated a board and have found out that a vendor may have supplied counterfeit parts?
EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform can verify that parts on populated boards are genuine.
Not sure if a supplier is trustworthy or want to verify that they are sourcing legitimate parts?
EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform can verify that loose parts are genuine.
Are there questions about parts that have already been put into production?
EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform can check that fielded systems do not contain counterfeit parts.
No Special Knowledge Required
Using an intuitive interface, the Field Assessment Platform allows users to easily perform a counterfeit assessment. You simply provide known information using markings on the part and EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform will ensure you have the genuine article.
No Special External Equipment Necessary
EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform does not require any special external equipment. The same equipment and tools used to program a bitstream are all that is needed. EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform works by using machine learning and specially developed telemetry bitstreams to perform a characterization assessment of the parts or system. EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform uses bitstream level sensors to characterize a part and its resources. While imaging or other electronic counterfeit detection methods look at an image or limited facets of a part, EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform looks at the inner workings of a part to determine if it is counterfeit, making it applicable to a wider selection of part and device types.
Non-Destructive Testing
While you would normally sample the lot by submitting some parts or systems to destructive tests, EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform performs non-destructive tests. The telemetry bitstreams employed by EnsofIC™ Attest™ platform stay within the bounds of the specifications of the parts under test so they do not impact the life of the part.
