WANG Peng-jun, LI Gang, QIAN Hao-yu. Design of Configurable Resistance Divider Type DAC-PUF Circuit[J]. Acta Electronica Sinica, 2016, 44(7): 1630-1635.
Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) exploits process variation across same structure and design parameter unit circuits during the manufacturing processes to generate numerous unique
random and unclonable security keys.In this paper
a configurable resistance divider type DAC-PUF scheme is proposed
which consists of input register
resistor-string based DAC
voltage comparator and timing control module.After configuring the DAC cell by applying input challenges
the PUF circuit updates keys without physically replacement.In TSMC-LP 65nm CMOS technology
the layout occupies 72.4m87.8m with custom designing.Experimental results show that the PUF circuit possesses nice statistical characteristic of uniqueness
high randomness of 99.1% and high stability of 97.8%
both with respect to supply voltage variation from 1.08V to 1.32V
and temperature variation from -40℃ to 125℃. It can be effectively used in information security field.
