| − | The CW305 is a FPGA target board. It brings features including a simplified USB interface for talking to the FPGA, an external PLL for adjusting frequency response, a programmable VCC-INT supply, and diode protection for use in fault injection environments. Also available with a special BGA socket, giving you the ability to perform tests on multiple FPGA devices - perfect for checking Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) under the exact same environmental conditions across multiple FPGAs.

| − | This board requires an external oscilloscope or capture box for performing the power measurement. The board is designed to interface to hardware such as the ChipWhisperer-Lite 2-Part version or the CW1200 (ChipWhisperer-Pro).

| − | ==USB Interface==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This board uses NewAE Technology Inc's custom USB interface firmware. This firmware gives you a simple data/address bus, which you can read/write to the FPGA. The USB chip also controls FPGA configuration (which for the 7A35T device takes just under 2 seconds), the PLL, and the VCC-INT regulator. This makes it easy to script complex jobs like performing measurements at different frequencies or voltages, or reconfiguring the FPGA after a fault attempt to avoid issues with SRAM corruption.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==PLL==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The CDCE906 PLL means you can easily output frequencies from about 5-160 MHz (a larger range is possible but may require more care). The PLL is programmed over USB, and 3 output channels are provided (each which can be set to a different frequency). 2 route to the FPGA and 1 routes to a SMA connector. This allows you to synchronize external devices or boards to the oscillator driving your FPGA design.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Power Supply==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Three switching regulators are provided - two fixed for VCC-AUX and VCC-IO, along with a VCC-INT supply which can be programmed over the range of 0.8V-1.10V (this is a software limit to prevent you from damaging the FPGA, this can be overridden if you need to provide about a 0.65-1.5V range). Optional linear regulators can plug into the VCC-AUX and VCC-IO supplies which provide lower-noise operation (but with a reduced current limit compared to the switching supplies).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | External banana connectors make is simply to power the VCC-INT from a low-noise bench supply. This can improve side-channel analysis measurements by reducing noise in the shunt measurement compared to the on-board switching supply.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An on-board DMM measures the VCC-INT supply and provides easy visual feedback so you can confirm settings without needing to attach a meter.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Shunt Measurement==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A resistive shunt is provided in the VCC-INT supply, with an optional shunt in the VCC-AUX line. The resistive shunt can be measured using a differential probe on 0.1" spacing, using the SMAs, or using the on-board 20dB LNA. The LNA makes it easier to measure with standard oscilloscopes that don't measure the very small variations you find in power analysis.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Fault Injection==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This board is designed to facilitate all forms of fault injection. Resitive and diode protection prevents transients on the VCC-IO of the FPGA from affecting the USB interface chip. The USB chip itself provides high-speed FPGA reconfiguration to simplify repetitive fault attacks where you need to reconfigure the FPGA. The USB interface can also monitor the INITB pin of the FPGA, which can be used with the continous CRC verification feature to determine when reconfiguration is required.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The PCB features mounting holes and alignment features for use with an X-Y table (suitable for both EM fault injection and H-Field probes).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The VCC-INT supply can be disconnected from the filtering capacitors to allow using the SMA jacks as a method of inserting voltage faults without fighting the output capacitance of the power supply.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The ChipWhisperer Crowbar fault injection can also be used with this board, which requires either the ChipWhisperer-Lite 2-Part version (CW1173-2PART) or CW1200.

| − | == VCC-INT Routing ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The following shows details of how the power supplies are routed on the CW305 board:

| − | [[File:cw305_vccrouting.png]] | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Details of each section are shown here:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === DC Jack / USB Power ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are two main sources of power which can be used for ''all'' FPGA power supplies (VCC-INT, VCC-IO, and VCC-AUX). By default this is the USB connector, but this is limited by USB specs to a maximum of 500 mA.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If using a larger design in the FPGA you may exceed these limits, in which case you must move the switch to use the DC-Jack. This jack requires a 5.0V power supply capable of a suitable amount of current for your design (suggested: 2.0A).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Internal / External VCC-INT ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The internal power supply provides a source of 1.0V for the VCC-INT. This supply can be programmed slightly above/below 1.0V to compare the effects of different VCC-INT supplies on the FPGA design. Details of the power supply are given in section TODO XREF. The internal supply can provide up to 6.0A for the VCC-INT rail.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There is also two banana jacks which can be connected to a 1.0V lab supply. You must be very careful to ensure you do not exceed 1.10V on this input, as beyond that range you risk damaging the FPGA.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The choice of internal/external is selected with the switch. There is a ferrite bead + large capacitors after this switch, so note that you '''cannot''' use the banana jack inputs as a voltage glitch insertion method. Instead you must insert them directly into the SMA connectors

| − | | + | |
| − | === VCC-INT Decoupling Capacitors ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === VCC-AUX Shunt Resistor ===
| + | |
| − | The VCC-INT shunt is the primarily power measurement point, as it provides power measurement for both designs inside the FPGA, along with the logic responsible for decrypting bitstreams (as reported at https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/249.pdf).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There may be additional information in the VCC-AUX power supply however, for example monitoring JTAG state transitions. There is a secondary shunt position (by default with no shunt mounted) for exploration of the VCC-AUX power supply. This can be seen in the schematic here:

| − | | + | |
| − | The provided modules are written in Python, but any language which is supported by libusb can talk to the hardware. This will require you to write your own lower-layer driver and is officially unsupported by NewAE.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If using from other software (such as MATLAB), it is suggested to call the command-line interface (described below) or otherwise use the existing Python interface. The Python interface is guaranteed to maintain compatibility with future changes in the SAM3U firmware.
