Abstract:
A PUF generator includes a difference generator circuit with first and second transistors having a first predetermined VT. The difference generator circuit is configured to provide a first output signal for generating a PUF signature based on respective turn on times of the first and second transistors. An amplifier includes a plurality of transistors having a second predetermined VT. The amplifier is configured to receive the first output signal and output the PUF signature.
