摘要:
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; determining a first number of first bit cells in the PUF cell array, wherein the output logical states of the first bit cells are different from the preconfigured logical states; when the first number of first bit cells is less than a first predetermined number, generating a first map under a first set of operation conditions using the PUF generator and a masking circuit, generating a second map under a second set of operation conditions using the PUF generator and the masking circuit, determining a second number of second bit cells, wherein the second bit cells are stable in the first map and unstable in the second map; when the second number of second bit cells is determined to be zero, determining a third number of third bit cells, wherein the third bit cells are stable in the first map and stable in the second map; and when the third number of third bit cells are greater than a second preconfigured number, the PUF generator is determined as a qualified PUF generator.
