SRAM Static Entropy Extraction From Every Single Transistor in Unmodified Bitcell and Data Fingerprinting for Provenance Assurance

SRAM Static Entropy Extraction From Every Single Transistor in Unmodified Bitcell and Data Fingerprinting for Provenance Assurance 150 150

Abstract:

In this work, an SRAM macro uniquely extracting static entropy from every transistor in unmodified 6T bitcells is presented, achieving for the first time 6-bit/bitcell entropy. When operating as a conventional physically unclonable function (PUF), it achieves a state-of-the-art 296% PUF-to-SRAM capacity ratio without any error correcting code (ECC), retaining …

Abstract:

This article presents a wideband two-channel ( $2{\times }$ ) time-interleaved (TI) continuous-time (CT) delta-sigma modulator (DSM). $2{\times }$ TI technique halves the speed of the whole DSM loop. The feedforward (FF) extrapolation enables an equivalent $2{\times }$ TI implementation using only one complete analog DSM channel. Moreover, a broadband hybrid-input (i.e., resistor/ $G_{…
