    Abstract: A physically unclonable function device includes a set of diode-connected MOS transistors having a random distribution of respective threshold voltages. A first circuit is configured to impose, on each first transistor, a fixed respective gate voltage regardless of the value of a current flowing in this first transistor. A second circuit is configured to impose, on each second transistor, a fixed respective gate voltage regardless of the value of a current flowing in this second transistor. A current mirror stage is coupled between the first circuit and the second circuit and is configured to deliver the reference current from a sum of the currents flowing in the first transistors. A comparator is configured to deliver a signal whose level depends on a comparison between a first current obtained from a reference current based on the first transistors and a second current of the second transistors.

    Abstract: The current signature of an electronic function is masked by controlling a current source that supplies power for the electronic function is controlled in a dynamically-varying manner. Excess current is detected and compared to a threshold. If the detected excess current meets the threshold, the operation of the electronic function is modified, for example by controlling a clock.

    Abstract: The physically unclonable function device (DIS) comprises a set of MOS transistors (TR1i, TR2j) mounted in diodes having a random distribution of respective threshold voltages, and comprising N first transistors and at least one second transistor. At least one output node of the function is capable of delivering a signal, the level of which depends on the comparison between a current obtained using a current circulating in the at least one second transistor and a current obtained using a reference current that is equal or substantially equal to the average of the currents circulating in the N first transistors. A first means (FM1i) is configured to impose on each first transistor a respective fixed gate voltage regardless of the value of the current circulating in the first transistor, and a second means (SM2j) is configured to impose a respective fixed gate voltage on each second transistor regardless of the value of the current circulating in the second transistor.

    Abstract: A device includes a first transistor connected between a first node and an output terminal and a first current source connected between the first node and a supply rail. A circuit includes a second current source connected between the supply rail and a second node, an operational amplifier having a non-inverting input configured to receive a potential set point, and a second transistor connected between the second node and an inverting input of the operational amplifier. An output of the operational amplifier is connected to a control terminal of the second transistor and further connected to a control terminal of the first transistor.
