摘要
A hardware random number generator using Josephson oscillation and a few single flux quantum (SFQ) logic gates is presented. The logic circuit of the random number generator consists of one toggle flip flop and one and gate. A prototype random number generator is designed by logic cells based on a 2.5-kA/cm(2) Nb/AlOx/Nb integration process. The fundamental operation at a few hundred megahertz of the random number sampling frequency is confirmed by numerical simulation when a DC/SFQ converter is used for generating trigger signals. An additional delay line using an overdamped Josephson transmission line is used for increasing the timing jitter to get random numbers. The delay line makes it possible for the random number generator to operate over 1 GHz. To confirm the fundamental operation of the circuit, a primitive SFQ random number generator is fabricated using the AIST standard process with 2.5-kA/cm(2) Nb/AlOx/Nb junctions and the standard logic cell library. A random number generation based on a low-speed functional test is successfully confirmed.
