Abstract(in English) Overclocking, which occurs because of the disruption of the clock frequency, causes LSI modules to malfunction. The Electromagnetic interference can also cause an LSI module to malfunction owing to overclocking. On the other hand, the clarification of malfunction factors is required to increase the immunity of LSI modules. With that, this paper proposes a method for detecting overclocking when electromagnetic interference is applied; the presence of overclocking is determined based on the output results from an evaluation circuit, which is installed in an LSI module. Further, experiments were conducted for a case in which glitches were introduced into the clock signal and another case where a continuous wave was applied, to examine the validity of the proposed method. As a result, we confirm that the evaluation circuit can correctly determine if overclocking is occurred or not. In addition, we confirm the outputs of the evaluation circuit that indicated the occurrence of overclocking when a continuous wave was injected. And, the change of the clock cycle was confirmed by fluctuation in voltage which is occurred by overlapping CW from observation of clock signal. Therefore, the evaluation circuit proposed in this paper was confirmed to be useful in detecting the overclocking.
