Abstract

The present invention discloses a ternary PUF unit and circuit realized by CNFET; the ternary PUF circuit comprises a ternary row decoder, a ternary column decoder, a ternary output circuit and a ternary PUF unit array; the said ternary PUF circuit is arranged into a 3n rows×3n columns matrix formed by 3n×3n ternary PUF units; the ternary PUF unit comprises a 1st CNFET transistor, a 2nd CNFET transistor, a 3rd CNFET transistor, a 4th CNFET transistor, a 5th CNFET transistor, a 6th CNFET transistor, a 7th CNFET transistor, an 8th CNFET transistor, a 9th CNFET transistor and a 10th CNFET transistor; its advantage lies in the fact that it is provided with small circuit area and higher randomness and uniqueness while ensuring proper logic function.
