Abstract

Abstract

Tunneling Magnetic Resistance (TMR) sensors have lower power consumption, higher sensitivity, and better reliability than other types of magnetoresistive sensors and have broad application prospects in military and civilian fields. A design scheme for high-precision TMR sensor reading Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and extracting the sensor’s Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) characteristics is proposed in this paper, addressing issues such as weak signal detection and security protection of TMR sensors. A front-end low noise instrument amplifier and high-precision ADC are proposed, which is combined with chopping technology and ripple suppression technology to achieve high-precision signal reading and analog-to-digital conversion. The TMR magnetometer with digital output function is used to compare the zero position deviation of different sensors, and multi-bit random balance algorithm is used to complete the soft PUF design of TMR magnetometer, which can generate 128 bit PUF response. The readout ASIC for TMR sensor using the Shanghai Huahong of 0.35 μm CMOS process is completed, and magnetometer’s function and TMR-PUF performance are tested. The experimental results show that under 5V power supply voltage, the power consumption of the TMR magnetometer system is about 10 mW, the noise floor can reach –140 dBV and the third harmonic distortion is –107 dB; The uniqueness of TMR-PUF reaches 47.8%, and its stability is 97.85%, which shows excellent performance compared to relevant literature.
