Hello PicWorld !

first, thanks to all for replying to this thread.

i wanna generate some power glitchs, not for testing purpose like
succeptibility to power input noise.

i wanna 'take control' over some internal hardware/software execution.

eg: skip a few instructions cycle, unload internals buffers, miss
interrupt, ...

i read all of your replys, but it's not exactly what i'm searching for ;
too hazardous for me !

i see somewhere that if a chip is underpowered, it could be in a
undefined state.

it's the undefined state who interrest me. how to glitch from the normal
state to undefined and back to normal state.

i think make a real-time Up-power supply (PIC inside !), who could make
spikes (and/or VDD,VGG,RST,CLK,IO,...). But, to affect one instruction
cycle on a chip running at 10 Mhz(100 ns cycle), glitch timing must be
very fast(~20 ns ?).
by now, PICs are not fast enough to attack a DAC for generating a power
slope, then i must use externals chips drived by a PIC, like delay lines
or ?

i see a similar application on the net using an atmel ATV750-30 (PAL)

some ideas to do this will be great (forget piezo-lighter !) .
