Chiplytics PSA System
Comprehensive Electrical Inspection for Critical Systems
Chiplytics is developing cutting-edge inspection technology to quantify the authenticity and integrity of microelectronics. Our product uses Power Spectrum Analysis (PSA) to extensively evaluate homogeneity and identify outliers. Data acquisition is performed within milliseconds with minimal setup, enabling greater coverage and higher throughput.
How it works
1
Low voltage input stimulus applied to various pins to capture unique power response
2
The unique response is converted into a frequency-domain signature
3
Signatures are compared using principal component analysis to detect anomalies

Analogy: ring a set of bells and listen for differences in resonance.
Features
Hand-held module for running Power Spectrum Analysis (PSA)
POWER SPECTRUM ANALYSIS
A novel, patented electrical testing technique developed at Sandia National Laboratories rapidly performs a non-invasive electrical modal analysis to evaluate homogeneity and aging.
QUICKTURN SOCKETS
Sockets to interface any chip, produced by Chiplytics within a one-week turnaround. Reuse sockets for chips with the same footprint or return for future credit.
CROSS-PLATFORM DESKTOP APP
Operate the Chiplytics PSA module via USB from your Windows or Mac and view inspection results in realtime. The desktop app can also be used to operate the system offline.
SECURE CLOUD CONNECTIVITY
Dive deeper into test results using the Chiplytics web app. Data collected across devices can be leveraged to improve detection accuracy and identify trends.
Use Cases
-
Collect power signatures to evaluate homogeneity among a batch of components
​
-
Compare signatures against a golden sample or run more extensive testing (e.g. destructive) on a subset to verify authenticity of the entire batch
​
-
Capture power signature profiles of aged reference components to train a model that can predict the health and lifetime remaining of other samples
Quickturn Sockets for Any Semiconductor
Specify the part number and Chiplytics will produce a compatible socket to interface with the PSA system.
