AI Technical Summary
Existing random number generators based on ring oscillators and metastability circuits suffer from low speed due to rare metastable events and slow phase movement, leading to insufficient entropy and randomness.
A random number generator design that includes multiple bistables connected to different phases of ring oscillators through delay lines, utilizing phase detectors and metastability circuits to stimulate bistables with less correlated signals, enhancing randomness through phase shifts and metastability detection.
The design improves randomness and speed by ensuring bistables are stimulated with different phase shifts, providing more independent and random processes, thus enhancing the entropy and reliability of generated numbers.
