Mr. Klosterboer holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering technology from Montana State University.

Testing beyond the green light

This presentation will highlight some of the challenges and opportunities that test developers and test operations managers face in a changing data climate. Measured data will drive decisions not only about the product under test but potentially on the entire design and manufacturing ecosystem. I will also explore some of the value tradeoffs of increased data harvesting vs reduced test cost requirements of each component.

Ultra-low Energy Security Circuit Primitives for IoT Platforms

Low-area energy-efficient security primitives are key building blocks for enabling end-to-end content protection, user authentication and data security in IoT platforms. This talk describes the design of security circuit primitives that employ energy-efficient circuit techniques with optimal hardware-friendly arithmetic for seamless integration into area/battery constrained IoT systems: 1) A 2040-gate AES accelerator achieving 289Gbps/W efficiency in 22nm CMOS, 2) Hardened hybrid Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) circuit to generate a 100% stable encryption key. 3) All-digital TRNG to achieve >0.99 min-entropy with 3pJ/bit energy-efficiency. The talk will also discuss design issues related to side-channel leakage of key information, and how they may be addressed during design of encryption circuits. Finally, the talk will touch upon existing challenges of maintaining the integrity of security circuits, while still enabling testability and post-silicon validation.

Joachim holds an M.S.E.E. degree, the Dipl.-Ing. der Nachrichtentechnik, from the Aachen University of Technology.

Look mom! No hands!

After many years of relying on established processes technology geometries, advanced automotive semiconductors, driven by assisted and autonomous driving systems, have recently joined the race to ever smaller semiconductor process technologies. If the massive functionality enabled by 16-nm and below FinFET semiconductor processes, combined with the new fault mechanisms they bring along, weren’t enough of a test and repair challenge, the automotive functional safety requirements add a whole other dimension to the problem. This talk discusses automotive test and repair requirements and solutions in the context of automotive functional safety from the perspective of a test automation tool and IP provider.
