What we do

IC unlocking is the process of decrypting integrated circuits, removing security locks, and reading protection from microcontrollers and memory chips to enable full functionality. IC unlocking is also called IC decrypt, IC crack, or sometimes IC attack. An integrated circuit (IC) is usually
encrypted during the manufacturing process. After IC Unlocking, the program and data of the integrated circuit become readable. It is an important phase in PCB cloning. Printed circuit board cloning requires IC unlocking.

HUANG TE PCB SUPPORTED IC TYPES & BRANDS

We specialize in a wide range of IC unlocking services from branded and leading global manufacturers. Our IC unlocking services include different chip categories, ensuring extensive support for diverse electronics repair, reverse engineering, and duplication needs.

MICROCONTROLLERS:

We unlock microcontrollers that are commonly used in industrial control systems, embedded
systems, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics. Our microcontroller expertise
includes:
Atmel (AVR, SAM)
STMicroelectronics (STM32 series)
Texas Instruments (MSP430)
Microchip (PIC, dsPIC)
NXP/Freescale (Kinetis)
Whether your microcontroller unit (MCU) is password secured or protected with read/write
restrictions. We use advanced techniques to recover your MCU securely.

Why Reverse Engineering?

HUANG TE PCB also support reading data from standalone memory chips and unlocking devices
such as
Flash memory (NOR/NAND)
EEPROMs (I2C, SPI)
eMMC & other embedded storage ICs
This unlocking provides full data extraction for fault analysis, duplication, or firmware backup.

OUR IC UNLOCK Techniques

We use a wide range of reliable and precise IC unlocking techniques to unlock integrated circuits without causing damage to firmware or chips. Our methods are designed for the specific type and IC protection level, ensuring data integrity and high success rates. We use the following IC unlocking techniques.

For ICs with high-level security protections, we use controlled physical unlocking, including


Chip decapsulation
Glitching and fault injection techniques
Micro-probing
These IC unlocking techniques are performed by expert engineers under strict lab conditions.

This method is crucial for


Extracting firmware from locked microcontrollers
Bypassing security locks via debugging access
Reading protected memory regions

For ICs with high-level security protections, we use controlled physical unlocking, including


Chip decapsulation
Glitching and fault injection techniques
Micro-probing
These IC unlocking techniques are performed by expert engineers under strict lab conditions.

OUR IC UNLOCK SERVICE PROCESS

At HUANG TE PCB, we follow an organized process for IC unlocking to ensure efficient, accurate, reliable, and legally compliant IC Unlocking. The following steps are carried out during our IC unlocking process:

The first step is a session or consultation to understand your specific requirements. You will be
asked details about the IC model, IC issue, and intended purpose. We also verify the ownership
and legality before proceeding to further processing.

We evaluate the chip type and security level and specify the unlocking method. Upon technical analysis, we apply the most appropriate and safe approach for IC Unlocking.
Applying a combination of hardware tools, software techniques, or physical methods as required. We perform the IC unlocking process with extensive care to ensure data integrity and safety.
Once the process is finished, we provide the recovered firmware or data in your preferred format, for example, BIN or HEX. We also duplicate or program the unlocked IC if required. All data and program files are delivered confidentially and securely.
