Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An integrated circuit system includes a first chip including a first node and configured to generate first identification information indicating the first chip in response to a voltage of the first node, a second chip including a second node and configured to generate second identification information indicating the second chip in response to a voltage of the second node, and a channel connected to the first node and the second node and generate a voltage difference between the first node and the second node.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An integrated circuit system comprising: a channel connected to a first node and a second node and configured to generate a voltage difference between the first node and the second node; a first chip including the first node and a first replica channel obtained by modeling the channel and configured to generate first identification (ID) information corresponding to the first chip by comparing a voltage of the first node with one or more first comparison vo…
