Abstract

Chaos is a deterministic phenomenon that emerges under certain conditions in a nonlinear dynamic system when the trajectories of the state variables become periodic and highly sensitive to the initial conditions. Chaotic systems are flexible, and it has been shown that communication is possible using parametric feedback control. Chaos synchronization is the basis of using chaos in communication. Chaos synchronization refers to the characteristic that the trajectories of two identical chaotic systems, each with its own unique initial conditions, converge over time.

In this paper, data extraction is performed on different chaotic equations implemented as circuits. Lorenz is the base system implemented in this paper, followed by Modified Lorenz, Chua’s, L\(\ddot{u}\)’s, and R\(\ddot{o}\)ssler systems. Additionally, more recent systems (e.g., SprottD Attractor) are included in the data extraction process. The robust system implementations provide an alternative to software chaos and architectures, and will further reduce the required power and area. These chaotic systems serve as alternatives for quantum era computing, which will cause synchronous and asynchronous techniques to fail. The data extracted organize different modes of chaos implementation based on the ease of their fabrication in integrated circuits. Performance metrics including power consumption, area, design load, noise, and robustness to process and temperature variant are extracted for each system to demonstrate a figure of merit. The figure of merit showcases chaos equations fitting to be implemented as a transmitter/receiver with a mode of chaotic ciphering in communication.
