RANDOM NUMBER GENERATING CIRCUIT FOR GENERATING RANDOM NUMBER BASED ON PLURALITY OF SAMPLING SIGNALS, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17867150 titled 'RANDOM NUMBER GENERATING CIRCUIT FOR GENERATING RANDOM NUMBER BASED ON PLURALITY OF SAMPLING SIGNALS, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a random number generating circuit that includes an oscillation circuit, a sampling circuit, and a random number determining circuit.
- The oscillation circuit generates an oscillation signal using a series of delay elements.
- The sampling circuit generates multiple sampling signals by sampling the oscillation signal at different points in time using a series of delay elements.
- The random number determining circuit generates a random number based on a target sampling signal that has a logic level transition at a specific sampling point in time.
- The target sampling point is one of the sampling points generated by the sampling circuit.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Random number generation for cryptographic systems.
- Simulation and modeling in scientific research.
- Gaming and gambling applications that require random outcomes.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a reliable and efficient method for generating random numbers.
- Eliminates the need for external random number sources.
- Ensures randomness by using the logic level transition of the target sampling signal.
Benefits of this technology:
- Simplifies the random number generation process.
- Reduces the complexity and cost of implementing random number generation circuits.
- Provides a high level of randomness and unpredictability in generated random numbers.
