Figure 1: Overview of ChipSHOUTER device architecture.
Fundamentally, the ChipSHOUTER provides a high voltage
charge that is discharged through an inductor (the “injec-
tion tip”). This injection tip generates a powerful magnetic
field that can be used to induce faults in a target device.
To make using the device easier, the ChipSHOUTER in-
cludes a microcontroller that controls device operation.
This includes detection of fault conditions such as over-
temperature or invalid operational requests. Once a fault is
