Abstract :
Random number generators (RNGs) based upon metastable operation in a CMOS latch are presented. Some different techniques to force metastable operation and detect the final state are also reported. Prototypes have been integrated and sequences produced by these generators have passed standard tests, exhibiting good random behavior
