Description

Integrated circuit and chip
Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit design, in particular to an integrated circuit and a chip.
Background
In the design of a chip in the existing industrial production, a design mode of an Integrated Circuit (IC for short) is usually adopted to realize the Circuit function, and the design mode of the Integrated Circuit has the advantages of small volume, low power consumption, low cost and high integration level, so that the requirement of chip miniaturization is easier to meet.
Conventional image forming systems, such as printers, copiers, and facsimile machines, are used to form images of information to be formed on an image forming medium, such as paper, using an image forming material, such as toner or ink. An image forming system generally includes an image forming apparatus and at least one image forming cartridge detachably mounted to the image forming apparatus. In order to better record the state of the imaging material in the imaging box and complete the matching verification of the imaging box and the imaging device, a chip is usually mounted on the imaging box and used for storing information related to the imaging box, such as rewritable information like residual imaging material information and the like, and identification and authentication information of the imaging box. However, since the complexity of the circuit arrangement of the chip on the printed circuit board is not high, the internal circuit of the chip can be easily disassembled and extracted for reverse analysis, and the logic function of the internal circuit can be analyzed by performing hierarchical arrangement on the internal circuit, so that the chips with similar functions can be imitated.
A conventional technique for preventing an integrated circuit from being analyzed reversely is based on the principle shown in fig. 1, in which a plurality of metal interconnects are encapsulated in an insulating region between a metal layer n and a metal layer n +1, the plurality of metal interconnects include a metal interconnect net1 that enables at least a part of a circuit of the metal layer n to be correctly connected to at least a part of a circuit of the metal layer n +1, and a metal interconnect net2 that enables at least a part of a circuit of the metal layer n to be incorrectly connected to at least a part of a circuit of the metal layer n +1, and when there are n places between the metal layer n and the metal layer n +1 where a true and false metal interconnect needs to be determined, 2n kinds of possibilities may occur in the circuit. Through the design of the true and false metal interconnection lines, the design of the PCB layout of the chip is more complex, and the logic function of the internal circuit is difficult to analyze and crack.
However, the above prior art starts with increasing the structural difficulty of the PCB layout circuit design of the chip to reduce the risk of the integrated circuit being analyzed reversely, but if the chip is longitudinally dissected, it is still possible to determine which is the correct metal interconnection line, and break the logic function of the internal circuit. On the other hand, because the standard process for manufacturing the chip does not support the true and false metal interconnection lines, if the chip is manufactured by adopting the prior art, a special process is needed to realize, and the cost for manufacturing the chip is greatly increased. Therefore, there is a need for a technology that can effectively prevent the logic function of the internal circuit of the chip from being cracked, and can manufacture the chip with low cost and high efficiency.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The technical solutions of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. In order to simplify the description process and make the technical solution appear clearly, the following only takes the case that the integrated circuit is disposed on the chip of the imaging box as an example, but the solution of the following embodiment describes that the integrated circuit is also applicable to other types of chips.
Fig. 2 is an architecture diagram of an imaging system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the image forming system includes an image forming cartridge 101 and an image forming apparatus 102; the imaging cartridge 101 may be detachably mounted on the imaging apparatus 102, and the imaging cartridge 101 may be loaded with an imaging cartridge chip 1011, the imaging cartridge chip 1011 is configured to record imaging data (including raw data and usage data, such as production date, model number, remaining amount information of imaging material, number of imaging pages, and number of rotations of the rotating unit of the imaging cartridge) of imaging material in the imaging cartridge, and is configured to verify whether the imaging cartridge is fitted to the imaging apparatus based on the stored identification authentication information of the imaging cartridge.
In a specific implementation process, the imaging box chip 1011 is installed in the imaging box 101, and then the imaging box 101 with the imaging box chip 1011 installed is installed in the imaging device, so that pins of the imaging box chip 1011 are in contact with contact pins on the imaging device side and are electrically connected, and data communication with the imaging device is realized. After the imaging device powers on the imaging box chip 1011, the imaging box identification authentication information stored in the imaging box chip 1011 can be read for validity verification, and the imaging data stored in the imaging box chip 1011 can also be acquired, so that the imaging device performs imaging operation according to the imaging data.

Specifically, the first functional circuit 11 acquires the first imaging data from the imaging data storage unit 10, processes the first imaging data, and sends the processed first imaging data to the gate output unit 13. The second functional circuit 12 acquires second imaging data from the imaging data storage unit 10, processes the second imaging data, and sends the second imaging data to the gate output unit 13. The control signal generating module 14 generates a control signal, and inputs the control signal to the gate output unit 13 through the control terminal.
Optionally, the control signal generating module 14 may generate the control signal in various ways, and may receive instruction information sent by the imaging apparatus, and generate the control signal according to the instruction information, or may prestore an instruction in the integrated circuit for a default program executed after power-on, so that the control signal generating module 14 may also generate the control signal according to the prestored instruction before receiving the instruction information, or an internal circuit of the control signal generating module 14 automatically generates the control signal after power-on before receiving the instruction information.
The gating output unit 13 is connected to the control signal generation module 14, and configured to receive the control signal sent by the control signal generation module 14, select the processed first imaging data and the processed second imaging data under the control of the control signal, obtain third imaging data, where the third imaging data is composed of at least a part of the processed first imaging data and/or at least a part of the processed second imaging data, and send the third imaging data to the imaging device through an output end.

For example, a forward logic circuit and a reverse-prevention logic circuit, respectively. Optionally, the integrated circuit 10111 may comprise a plurality of first functional circuits 11, and/or a plurality of second functional circuits 12.
The gated output unit 13 includes an output terminal 131, a control terminal 132, and a plurality of input terminals. The strobe output unit 13 selects the data obtained from each input end according to the control signal obtained from the control end 132, and selects one of the data to transmit to the output end 131.
Specifically, the operation of the gated output unit 13 will be described by taking as an example two input terminals, namely the first input terminal 133 and the second input terminal 134: the gate output unit 13 is connected to the control signal generating module 14 through the control terminal 132, connected to the first functional circuit 11 through the first input terminal 133, and connected to the second functional circuit 12 through the second input terminal 134; the way of implementing data selection by the strobe data unit 13 is: the control terminal 132 receives a control signal sent by the control signal generating module 14, and the control signal is used to control the gate output unit 13 to select whether to acquire the processed first imaging data output by the first functional circuit 11 or the processed second imaging data output by the second functional circuit 12, and output the acquired third imaging data to the imaging device through the output terminal 131.
It should be noted that, in order to meet the requirement, the number of the input terminals of the gated output unit 13 is expanded, and the gated output unit 13 may be composed of a plurality of selectors with fewer input terminals. For example, if the gated output unit 13 needs to have 4 input terminals, it can be implemented by using a plurality of two-input selectors. Specifically, the first two-input selector is used for connecting the first input end and the second input end; the second two-input selector is used for connecting the third input end and the fourth input end; the first input terminal of the third two-input selector is connected to the output terminal of the first two-input selector, the second input terminal is connected to the output terminal of the second two-input selector, and the output terminal is connected to the output terminal 131 of the gate output unit 13.
The control signal generating module 14 receives and analyzes the instruction information sent by the imaging device, generates a corresponding control signal according to the analysis result, and sends the corresponding control signal to the control terminal 132, or generates control information in the imaging device before receiving the instruction information sent by the imaging device, directly generates a corresponding control signal according to the generated control information when receiving the instruction information sent by the imaging device, and sends the corresponding control signal to the control terminal 132, the gating output unit 13 selects the first functional circuit 11 or the second functional circuit 12 according to the control signal of the control terminal 132, the selected functional circuit outputs the processed correct imaging data to the gating output unit 13, and the gating output unit 13 sends the acquired imaging data to the imaging device. The control signal generated by the control signal generating module 14 may be in various forms, for example, the control signal may be a periodically continuous level signal or a non-periodically continuous level signal.
In the integrated circuit 10111 provided in this embodiment of the present invention, the control signal generating module 14 generates a corresponding control signal according to instruction information or a predetermined setting sent by the imaging device, the strobe output unit 13 selects a corresponding input terminal according to the control signal to strobe the first functional circuit to output correct data (processed first imaging data) or the second functional circuit to output correct data (processed second imaging data), and outputs the selected data, and if the data is not selected according to the control signal generated by the control signal generating module 14, the data output to the imaging device by the strobe output unit is incorrect data, so that the imaging device cannot operate normally. Based on the chip of the embodiment, even if the chip is subjected to destructive research and the structure of the internal circuit is analyzed reversely, the method for reading out the correct imaging data cannot be decoded because the generation rule of the control signal cannot be obtained, and the purpose of protecting the logic function of the chip circuit from being decoded is achieved.
In practical applications, there are various ways for the control generation module to generate the control signal, and the control signal generation process is described below with reference to fig. 4 to 7.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an integrated circuit 10111 according to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, a detailed description is made on a generation process of a control signal based on the above-mentioned embodiment, for example, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 3, and specifically, the control signal generation module 14 includes: a first fixed circuit 144, a second fixed circuit 145 and a selection circuit 146.
The first fixed circuit 144 is configured to generate first fixed data.
The second fixed circuit 145 is configured to generate second fixed data.
The selection circuit 146 is connected to the first fixed circuit 144 and the second fixed circuit 145, and configured to generate a selection signal, selectively output the first fixed data and the second fixed data according to the selection signal, generate the control signal according to the selectively output data, and send the control signal to the gate output unit 13.
In practical applications, when the control signal is a level signal that is periodically continuous, the control signal may be generated according to a set number, that is, the fixed data is a set number, the set number may be binary data, and the number of bits may be one or more bits.
Specifically, there are various ways to generate the control signal according to the set number, wherein in an implementation manner, the control signal is written by a manufacturer and stored in a storage unit (e.g., a nonvolatile storage unit) in the control signal generation module 14 at the time of chip manufacturing, and the detailed description of the implementation manner refers to the embodiment shown in fig. 7 below.
In an implementation manner, the set number may be generated by at least two fixed circuits (e.g., the first fixed circuit 144 and the second fixed circuit 145) in the control signal generation module 14, each corresponding to one type of instruction information. The control signal generation module 14 receives the instruction information transmitted by the imaging device, analyzes the instruction information, selects a corresponding fixed circuit from the first fixed circuit 144 and the second fixed circuit 145 through the selection circuit 146 according to the analysis result, selectively outputs the number of settings generated by the corresponding fixed circuit, generates a control signal according to the number of settings selectively output, and outputs the control signal to the control terminal 132 of the gate output unit 13.
Specifically, taking the example that the setting number is a two-digit binary number, the control signal generation module 14 is provided with four fixed circuits, the fixed circuit 1 can generate the setting number "00", the fixed circuit 2 can generate the setting number "01", the fixed circuit 3 can generate the setting number "10", and the fixed circuit 4 can generate the setting number "11", the address of the first functional circuit 11 is "0", and the address of the second functional circuit 12 is "1". The control signal generating module 14 receives the instruction information corresponding to the fixed circuit 1, if the fixed circuit 1 is selected to output the set number "00", the periodic level signal with the signal "00" is continuously input through the control terminal 132, the strobe output unit 13 continuously selects the first functional circuit 11 with the address "0" as the circuit for inputting data according to the input signal "00", receives the data of the first functional circuit 11 and outputs the data through the output terminal 131; when the fixed circuit 2 is selected to output the set number "01", the control terminal 132 continuously inputs the periodic level signal of which the signal is "01", and the strobe output unit 13 selects the first functional circuit 11 having the address "0" as the circuit to which data is input, and then selects the second functional circuit 12 having the address "1" as the circuit to which data is input, according to the input signal "01", so that the first functional circuit 11 and the second functional circuit 12 are continuously and alternately selected to receive data and output the data through the output terminal 131.
In another implementation manner, at least two fixed circuits are provided in the control signal generation module 14, before the chip 1 receives the instruction information sent by the imaging device, the selection circuit 146 generates a selection signal, selects a fixed circuit to generate a set number, generates a control signal according to the set number selected and output, and outputs the control signal to a plurality of functional circuits (a first functional circuit and a second functional circuit in this embodiment) and the control terminal 132 of the strobe output unit 13, respectively, so that the plurality of functional circuits know the control signal that can output correct data, and when the control signal generation module 14 receives the instruction information sent by the imaging device, the strobe output unit 13 strobes the plurality of functional circuits to obtain correct data according to the control signal received at the control terminal 132.
The integrated circuit 10111 provided by the embodiment of the present invention generates a corresponding set number by setting a plurality of fixed circuits, and generates a control signal according to the set number, so that the selection output unit continuously or alternatively gates a certain functional circuit according to the control signal, thereby enhancing the complexity of the circuit structure, and even if the circuit is reversely cracked, it is difficult to analyze the generation rule of the set number, and the method for reading out the correct imaging data cannot be cracked, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the logic function of the chip circuit from being cracked.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an integrated circuit 10111 according to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, a detailed description is made on a generation process of a control signal based on the above-mentioned embodiment, for example, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 3, and specifically, the control signal generation module 14 includes: at least one random circuit 147.
The random circuit 147 is connected to the gate output unit 13, and configured to generate a random number and send the random number to the gate output unit 13 as a control signal.
In practical applications, when the control signal is a non-periodic continuous level signal, the control signal may be generated according to a random number, which may be a multi-bit binary data.
In an implementation manner, the random circuit 147 in the control signal generation module 14 may generate random numbers without regularity or according to a certain numerical rule, and the random circuit 147 may include a plurality of sub-random circuits 147, each sub-random circuit 147 having corresponding instruction information. The control signal generation module 14 receives the instruction information from the imaging device, analyzes the instruction information, selects the corresponding sub-random circuit 147 according to the analysis result, and generates a continuous level signal according to the random number generated by the sub-random circuit 147 and outputs the continuous level signal to the control end of the gate output unit 13.
Specifically, taking the example that the random number is a multi-bit binary number, the control signal generating module 14 is provided with a random circuit 147, the random circuit 147 can generate an irregular random number, a random number conforming to an odd check rule, a random number conforming to an even check rule, or the like, the address of the first functional circuit 11 is "1", and the address of the second functional circuit 12 is "0". The control signal generating module 14 receives an instruction to generate a random number conforming to the odd parity rule, the random circuit 147 outputs the random number conforming to the odd parity rule, for example, the generated random number is "1100100101", a level signal of "1100100101" is input through the control terminal 132, when a signal input through the control terminal is "1", the first functional circuit 11 with an address of "1" is selected as a circuit to which data is input, when a signal input through the control terminal is "0", the second functional circuit 12 with an address of "0" is selected as a circuit to which data is input, and the required functional circuits are alternately selected according to the control signal, and data is output through the output terminal 131.

As shown in fig. 4-7, on the basis of the above embodiments, in order to increase the data reading speed in this embodiment, a volatile register unit 141 is further provided, specifically: the control signal generation block 14 includes a volatile register unit 141.

When the imaging apparatus needs to repeatedly execute the operation of the same instruction, data needs to be regenerated each time the instruction is received, and the data is stored in the volatile register unit 141, that is, the data used each time the same instruction is executed is not necessarily the same; or because the volatile register unit 141 stores the corresponding random number or the set number generated by executing the instruction for the first time, the data stored in the volatile register unit 141 can be directly acquired when the instruction is executed each time, the instruction does not need to be analyzed again to regenerate the data, and the time required for executing the operation each time is reduced.

If the integrated circuit 10111 is first installed in the printing apparatus and powered on (i.e., power is supplied to the chip) until the end of the life of the chip, the set number or the random number used in each subsequent operation is the same, a set number or a random number may be generated and stored in the nonvolatile storage unit 142 when the control signal generation module 14 first receives instruction information corresponding to the operation, or generates a set number or a random number according to a predetermined setting and stores in the nonvolatile storage unit 142 before the control signal generation module 14 receives the instruction information, since the nonvolatile memory cell 142 does not erase data stored therein even if power is off, therefore, the data stored in the nonvolatile memory unit 142 can be directly acquired when the instruction operation is executed each time, the instruction does not need to be analyzed again to regenerate the data, and the time required for executing the operation each time is reduced.
The integrated circuit 10111 according to the embodiment of the present invention generates a corresponding setting number or random number by instruction information or a predetermined setting, stores the setting number or random number in the nonvolatile memory unit, loads the setting number or random number in the volatile register unit 141 by the data loading circuit 143, and generates a control signal based on data in the volatile register unit 141, thereby implementing a data selection function of the strobe output unit 13. According to the embodiment, on the basis of protecting the logic function of the chip circuit from being broken and improving the operation efficiency, the nonvolatile storage unit is added, and due to the existence of the nonvolatile storage unit, once a problem occurs in the operation executing process, an interrupt request can be sent immediately, and the nonvolatile storage unit can be used for analyzing the reason of operation errors.
