Select Project 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ON SW2
  • Author: Mikhail Svarichevsky
  • Description: Free-running oscillators to verify simulation vs reality + TRNG
  • GitHub repository
  • HDL project
  • Extra docs
  • Clock: 1000 Hz
  • External hardware: You might benefit from frequency counter than can do averaging across extended period of time.

How it works

Combinational loops with dividers to bring output frequency to <50kHz range

How to test

Select oscillator (pins 4-6) and mesaure frequency on one of output pins. Observe true random numbers at pin 7.

IO

# Input Output
0 clock in (for debugging) clock divided by 2^10
1 reset clock divided by 2^14
2 shift register clk clock divided by 2^18
3 shift register data clock divided by 2^22
4 clock source id_0 clock divided by 2^26
5 clock source id_1 clock divided by 2^30
6 clock source id_2 clock divided by 2^32
7 unused Bit 11 of shift register (to ensure it’s not optimized away)
