Generating streams of true random numbers is a critical component of many embedded systems. The design of fully integrated, area and power efficient True Random Number Generators is a challenge. We propose a fully integrated, lightweight implementation, that uses the random telegraph noise (RTN) of standard MOSFET as entropy source. It is not analog-intensive, and without traditional post-processing algorithms, the generated random bit sequence passes the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) tests.
