ChipWhisperer-Lite 32-Bit
MSRP:
$250 US

The ChipWhisperer-Lite is part of NewAE Technology Inc.’s aggressive pursuit of it’s mission to bring side-channel power analysis and glitching attacks to every engineer and student. The FULLY open-source (hardware, software, firmware, FPGA code) is launching a revolution in hardware security.
The ChipWhisperer-Lite integrates hardware for performing power analysis measurement, device programming, glitching, serial communications, and an example target that can be loaded with cryptographic algorithms all into a single board. The single-board version show here comes with an 32-bit STM32F303 Arm Cortex-M4 processor as a target (other versions are available).
Features
-
Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) with adjustable gain of up to +60 dB for analog power measurements.
-
10-bit ADC up to 105 MS/s, with ultra flexible clocking mechanism allow synchronous power capture.
-
Generate clock glitches with sub-nS resolution on timing.
-
Crowbar-based voltage glitch generator.
-
Built-in serial port for communications and programming STM32Fx targets.
-
Built in XMEGA and AVR programmers.
-
Open-source design allowing you to modify microcontroller & FPGA firmware.
-
Integrated STM32F303 32-bit Arm target for power analysis & fault injection integrated onto board.
-
Can separate target off board to use tool on additional targets.

Educational Material
Designed for DPA
ChipWhisperer-Lite is designed for power measurements. It integrates a high-gain LNA with a 10-bit ADC, and a flexible synchronous sampling mechanism unique to ChipWhisperer capture hardware.
Multiple Options
The ChipWhisperer-Lite comes in options with XMEGA or ARM integrated targets, or with a stand-alone target for more flexibility.
