Abstract:
Disclosed is a physical unclonable function generator circuit and testing method. In one embodiment, a testing method for physical unclonable function (PUF) generator includes: verifying a functionality of a PUF generator by writing preconfigured logical states to and reading output logical states from a plurality of bit cells in a PUF cell array; and determining whether the PUF generator is a qualified PUF generator based on whether one or more predefine quality criteria is satisfied.
