Abstract

See full text

A method for fast data erasing an FPGA including a programmable logic core controlled by a plurality of SONOS configuration memory cells, each SONOS configuration memory cell including a p-channel SONOS memory transistor in series with an n-channel SONOS memory transistor, which includes detecting tampering with the FPGA, disconnecting power from the programmable logic core, and simultaneously programming the n-channel device and erasing the p-channel device in all cells.
