It exploits the process variation of a single transistor as the load of the current mirror to generate a reliable digital signature for the chip. By employing a cascode NMOS transistor in the current-mode PUF architecture, the proposed PUF greatly boosts the output impedance. As a result, the tiny mismatch current can be amplified to a large output voltage swing. In addition, the area overhead per bit is only two minimum-sized NMOS transistors: one for the load of the current mirror, the other one for the selecting switch. Moreover, the proposed PUF design is validated by our extensive post-layout simulation using UMC 65nm CMOS technology, with a power consumption per bit as low as 0.13μW. The average area for each response bit extracted from the design layout is 5.47μm2.","PeriodicalId":6495,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"127-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81358811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this algorithm is to use an alternative error correction scheme which is called as the Hamming code, replacing the conventional CRC code. Moreover, to possibly increase the CAN's frame rate of the system. The bit's positions of the redundant bits ‘r’ and the bit streams of the frames from the start-of-frame (SOF) to the control bit frames are determine. These bits will be fed into the redundant bit controller to compute for the necessary r. The redundant bit's positions are in power of 2, and will be calculated using modulo-2 operation. This proposed method is synthesized using Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA. The simulation results shows a significant increase of CAN's frame rate and, it minimizes the bits stuffing payload and can be a better option for detecting and correcting error in CAN System.","PeriodicalId":6495,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"246 1","pages":"684-687"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76966036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluate the performance of six kinds of methods to locate the hosts in Erdos-Renyi (ER) random network, Barabasi-Albert (BA) scale-free network and the Internet AS-level network.
