TRUE RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR BASED ON PERIOD JITTER

A true random number generator (TRNG) for generating a sequence of random numbers of bits is disclosed. The TRNG includes a TRNG cell configured to generate a sequence of bits logically alternating with a mean frequency and with substantially random period jitter; a period monitor configured to gene...

Zusammenfassung:A true random number generator (TRNG) for generating a sequence of random numbers of bits is disclosed. The TRNG includes a TRNG cell configured to generate a sequence of bits logically alternating with a mean frequency and with substantially random period jitter; a period monitor configured to generate a first sequence of random bits based on a set of periods of the sequence of logically alternating bits; and a sampling circuit configured to sample the first sequence of random bits in response to a sampling clock to generate a second sequence of random bits.
