Modeling Static Noise Margin for FinFET based SRAM PUFs

In this paper, we develop an analytical PUF model based on a compact FinFET transistor model that calculates the PUF stability (i.e. PUF static noise margin (PSNM)) for FinFET based SRAMs. The model enables a quick design space exploration and may be used to identify critical parameters that affect the PSNM. The analytical model is validated...

Time-division Multiplexing Automata Processor

Automata Processor (AP) is a special implementation of non-deterministic finite automata that performs pattern matching by exploring parallel state transitions. The implementation typically contains a hierarchical switching network, causing long latency. This paper proposes a methodology to split such a hierarchical switching network into...

Memristive devices for computation-in-memory

CMOS technology and its continuous scaling have made electronics and computers accessible and affordable for almost everyone on the globe; in addition, they have enabled the solutions of a wide range of societal problems and applications. Today, however, both the technology and the computer architectures are facing severe challenges/walls making...
