In this work, we present the first integrated circuit implementation of our previously proposed dual entropy core TRNG architecture, which is designed following a novel parameter variation-aware approach. A prototype integrated circuit has been fabricated in 180nm CMOS technology. Prototype chip achieved 35Mbps throughput with approximately 33pJ/bit energy efficiency. Random numbers acquired from the prototype chip have successfully passed all NIST 800.22 statistical tests without requiring any post-processing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
