Active test and alteration of sample times for a ring based random number generator
An apparatus can include at least one test circuit configured to determine if bits sampled at a sample frequency from at least one bit generator are random, and a circuit configured to adjust the sample frequency if the at least one test circuit determines that the sampled bits are not random. The a...

| Zusammenfassung: | An apparatus can include at least one test circuit configured to determine if bits sampled at a sample frequency from at least one bit generator are random, and a circuit configured to adjust the sample frequency if the at least one test circuit determines that the sampled bits are not random. The apparatus can be a random number generator. A method may include sampling bits at a first sample frequency, and sampling bits at a second sample frequency if the sampled bits associated with the first sample frequency are not random. |
