    Abstract: A memory device comprises a plurality of memory cells and a plurality of evaluation elements, wherein each evaluation element of the plurality of evaluation elements is connectable with a memory cell of the memory device. The memory device further comprises an interconnection unit configured for connecting the plurality of memory cells to a first assignment of evaluation elements in a first state and for connecting the same plurality of memory cells to a second assignment of the evaluation elements in a second state. The memory device comprises an evaluation unit configured for controlling the interconnection unit to transition from the first state to the second state. The evaluation unit is configured for evaluating the plurality of memory cells in the first state to obtain a first evaluation result, and for evaluating the plurality of memory cells in the second state to obtain a second evaluation result.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a non-volatile memory having a plurality of memory cells, a memory controller, and an evaluator. The memory controller is configured to provide control signals to the non-volatile memory causing the non-volatile memory, or a selected memory section of the non-volatile memory, to be in one of a read state and a weak erase state, wherein the weak erase state causes the plurality of memory cells to maintain different states depending on different physical properties of the plurality of memory cells. The evaluator is configured to read out the plurality of memory cells and to provide a readout pattern during the read state, wherein the readout pattern that is provided after a preceding weak erase state corresponds to a physically unclonable function (PUF) response of the electronic device uniquely identifying the electronic device.
