Abstract

A quaternary 1-of-4 ID generator circuit is

presented. It exploits the properties of quaternary metastability

to provide stable n-bit IDs tolerant to the effects

of nanoscale process scaling and temperature variations,

which is achieved by increasing the margin between

threshold voltage and metastability voltage via quaternary

metastability. A 128-bit ID generator hardware implementation

and electrical evaluation yields an average of 26.6%

uniqueness of ID bits and 100% stability rate over a 10?C

to 40?C temperature range.
