Battelle and SMT
have forged an alliance to further develop and commercialize a tool
that works to detect cloned or counterfeit electronic chips.
Battelle said Thursday its Barricade
platform consists of a hardware and software system that works to
verify the authenticity of an integrated circuit based on the chip’s
electrical signatures and classification algorithm for each class of
electronic components.
Under the agreement, the nonprofit company will use SMT’s test
samples of counterfeit devices to conduct development
tests on Barricade.
“We are excited to partner with Battelle in advancing their Barricade
technology to protect government supply chains and the semiconductor
industry,” said Tom Sharpe, a vice president at SMT.
Barricade is designed to work with digital and analog systems, according to Battelle.
