REVERSE ENGINEERING: LASER PRINTER TONER CHIP

A24 · 10,403 次观看 · 添加于 3 个月前

AI摘要

This video provides a technical deep dive into the sophisticated security chips found in laser printer toner cartridges. Learners will gain an understanding of the "razor and blade" business model, where manufacturers prioritize hardware security over cost-savings to protect their revenue from third-party clones. Through a detailed silicon die teardown, the video explains engineering concepts such as metal layering to hide secrets, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), and the integration of microprocessors and flash memory. Viewers will learn how complex hardware design and encryption protocols are used to authenticate genuine products and resist physical tampering in disposable electronics.

00:00

This is a toner cartridge of course for

00:02

a laser printer and as is typical these

00:04

days there's a little circuit board at

00:06

the base here and there's a chip on it.

00:08

Uh that chip provides things like

00:10

telling the printer what kind of

00:11

cartridges it is. Um and then the

00:13

printer can write to the cartridge and

00:15

tell it uh the number of times it's

00:16

printed so it has some sense of

00:18

utilization. And then of course perhaps

00:20

most controversial uh the chip is

00:23

designed so it's extremely difficult to

00:25

make a um third party knockoff. Uh, this

00:28

laser printer I use is a excellent

00:30

printer and I paid almost nothing for

00:32

it. Uh, that's the model um, the

00:35

manufacturer hopes to make back their

00:36

profits through selling uh, slightly

00:38

more expensive laser printer cartridges.

00:40

Um, let's uh, tear this chip apart and

00:42

see what they had to do. There's two

00:44

tensions here. This chip is obviously

00:46

part of the disposable assembly, so I'd

00:48

imagine the engineers been told to keep

00:50

cost down. On the other hand, of course,

00:52

they want to make sure this cartridge is

00:54

difficult to clone, uh, so they can

00:56

ensure that revenue stream. Okay, so

00:58

here's the circuit board looking

00:59

straight down. Uh, four connections on

01:01

top, uh, power and ground and almost

01:02

certainly a serialized protocol like

01:04

I2C. Um, the chip of course sitting

01:08

here, a first observation is it's got a

01:10

lot of pins on it. It's a relatively

01:12

large package, so it implies it's going

01:14

to be a fairly significant piece of

01:17

silicon down there.

01:19

And the other parts uh are just simply

01:22

some small resistors and capacitors and

01:24

expensive components. The really

01:26

exciting bit is here. Let's uh take off

01:28

the packaging there and take a look at

01:30

the uh silicon die. Okay, so here's the

01:32

top metal die. Uh first things first, uh

01:34

obviously an unusual die. It's got only
