摘要: A random number generator that includes control circuit, an oscillation circuit, an oscillation detection circuit and a latch circuit is introduced. The control circuit sweeps a configuration of a bias control signal among a plurality of configurations. The oscillation circuit generates an oscillation signal based on the configuration of the bias control signal. The oscillation detection circuit detects an onset of the oscillation signal, and outputs a lock signal. The latch circuit latches the oscillation signal according to a trigger signal to output a random number, wherein the trigger signal is asserted after the lock signal is outputted, and the configuration of bias control signal is locked after the lock signal is outputted. A method for generating a random number and an operation method of a random number generator are also introduced.

摘要: First fire operations for an ovonic threshold switch (OTS) selector is provided. A first fire operation includes setting a peak amplitude of a voltage pulse, and performing at least one cycle, including: providing the voltage pulse to the OTS selector; sensing an output current passing through the OTS selector in response to the received voltage pulse; comparing a peak amplitude of the voltage pulse with a maximum peak amplitude ensuring initialization of the OTS selector; ending the first fire operation if the peak amplitude reaches the maximum peak amplitude; comparing the output current with a target current indicative of initialization of the OTS selector if the peak amplitude is lower than the maximum peak amplitude; ending the first fire operation if the output current reaches the target current; and setting another voltage pulse with a greater peak amplitude if the output current is lower than the target current.
