Abstract: PUF cells utilizing a dual-interlocking scheme demonstrating improved noise immunity and stability across different V/T conditions and different uses over time in noisy environments. The PUF cell may be advantageously utilized in conjunction with error detection techniques that screen out unstable cells. A set of such PUF cells utilized to generate a device-specific bit pattern, for example a master key.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to current flattening circuits for an electrical load. The current flattening circuits incorporate randomize various parameters to add noise onto the supply current. This added noise may act to reduce the signal to noise ratio in the supply current, increasing the difficulty of identifying a computational artifact signal from power rail noise.

Abstract: Reference voltage generators including a header circuit configured to pass current from a power supply to a time-to-digital converter, an amount of the current to pass determined by a thermometer code, and logic to update the thermometer code based on a comparison between an output of the time-to-digital converter and a digital code representing a reference voltage level.

Abstract: A circuit includes a set of multiple bit generating cells. One or more adjustable current sources is coupled to introduce perturbations into outputs of the bit generating cells. Based on the perturbations, the outputs of a subset less than all of the bit generating cells are selected, and applied as a control.

Abstract: Bit generating cells are subjected to processes that accelerate aging-related characteristics before they are configured for use in the field (enrolled). Aging improves the reliability of the cells by shifting device characteristic in a direction that improves the cell behavior with respect not only to aging but also environment variations. Outputs of the cells are read, and the cells are reconfigured with a bias to output an opposite value, and then aged for enrollment.
