Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	8.0 A true random number generator (TRNG) is disclosed, comprising an enclosure enclosing, a radiation source (preferably radioactive nickel), and a cavity separating the radioactive nickel from a linear array of cells. The cells include a silicon substrate with a detector constructed to detect electrons within the cavity from the decay of the nickel and to produce a signal for the detected energy. The amplifier connected to the detector amplifies the signal and passes it to the memory for storage. A control block is connected to each cell in the linear array (a) sends a word line signal to each cell, causing the memory to report its contents to an output buffer/memory via a bit line, and also (b) sends a reset signal to each cell, causing the memory to erase. 18474408_1 (GHMatters) P118299.AU
