The BIST logic circuit includes; a pattern generator configured to generate first main data including a first portion, an error correction code (ECC) encoder configured to generate first parity data based on the first main data, and a parity control circuit configured to generate mask data based on the first parity data and the first main data, and generate first substituted parity data based on the mask data and the first parity data, wherein a pattern of the first substituted parity data is the same as a pattern of the first portion of the first main data.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electronic device which includes an audio processing block for voice recognition in a low-power mode. The electronic device includes a digital microphone that receives a voice signal from a user and converts the received voice signal into a PDM signal, and a DMIC interface circuit. The DMIC interface circuit includes a PDM-PCM converting block that converts the PDM signal into a PCM signal, a maxscale gain tuning block that tunes a maxscale gain of the PCM signal received from the PDM-PCM converting block based on a distance information indicating a physical distance between the user and the electronic device acquired in advance of the converting of the PDM signal, and an anti-aliasing block that performs filtering for acquiring voice data of a target frequency band associated with a PCM signal output from the maxscale gain tuning block.

A semiconductor device includes a physical unclonable function (PUF) cell array that includes PUF cells outputting first bits; a non-volatile memory that stores marking bits indicating whether the first bits are valid, first mask bits generated by masking second bits depending on parity of the second bits, and second mask bits generated by masking helper bits of the second bits, the second bits are valid bits from the first bits; an extracting unit that extracts the second bits from the first bits using the marking bits; an unmasking unit that unmasks the second bits using the first mask bits while receiving the second bits to provide the third bits; a bit decoding unit that compresses the third bits to fourth bits while receiving the third bits; and a block decoding unit that generates a security key by decoding the fourth bits and the second mask bits.
Abstract:
A modular multiplier and a modular multiplication method are provided. The modular multiplier includes: a first register which stores a previous accumulation value calculated at a previous cycle; a second register which stores a previous quotient calculated at the previous cycle; a quotient generator which generates a quotient using the stored previous accumulation value output from the first register; and an accumulator which receives an operand, a bit value of a multiplier, the stored previous accumulation value, and the stored previous quotient to calculate an accumulation value in a current cycle, wherein the calculated accumulation value is updated to the first register, and the generated quotient is updated to the second register.
