The RO PUF contains two multiplexers, two counters, a comparator circuit, and several ring oscillators. The RO PUF generates an output by comparing the frequencies of two oscillators by counting the amount of times it has oscillated. 2, record 1, English, - ring%20oscillator%20physical%20unclonable%20function

Una de las PUF más utilizadas debido a su simplicidad para ser implementada en FPGA [matriz de puertas lógicas programable en campo] es la PUF de oscilador de anillo(RO-PUF), que compara las frecuencias de los osciladores por parejas para generar el bit de salida. Para generar una respuesta aleatoria, estas frecuencias deben ser lo más similares posible. 1, record 1, Spanish, - PUF%20de%20oscilador%20de%20anillo

The TERO-PUF is similar to the RO-PUF [ring oscillator physical unclonable function], but the TERO-PUF uses TERO [transient effect ring oscillator] cells that have two possible states: a transient oscillating state (characterized by the oscillating frequency of the cell output and by the number of oscillations before the stable state is reached) and a stable state (characterized by the logical value of the TERO cell output). 3, record 2, English, - transient%20effect%20ring%20oscillator%20PUF

L'architecture globale de la TERO-PUF est la même que celle de la RO-PUF mais dans celle-ci les cellules RO [oscillateur en anneau] sont remplacées par des cellules TERO. 2, record 2, French, - oscillateur%20en%20anneau%20%C3%A0%20effet%20transitoire%2DPUF

A transient effect ring oscillator (TERO) is a special case of a ring oscillator (RO) design that exhibits increased sensitivity to intrinsic noise. It can serve as a basis for implementing a true random number generator (TRNG) or a physically unclonable function (PUF). Also, [it can serve] as a digital sensor for detecting insertion of malicious hardware logic (Trojans) in digital circuits. 1, record 3, English, - transient%20effect%20ring%20oscillator
