Abstract

A true random number generator is realized by utilizing the noise produced by single oxide traps in small-area MOSFETs in combination with built-in redundancy. The circuit has an area of 0.009mm2 in 0.12μm CMOS and consumes 50μW at 200kb/s random output data. The concept is robust against environmental noise and supply-voltage variations and is thus suitable for operation within security controllers.
