Abstract:
A semiconductor device including a random number generator includes a memory device component including an array of a plurality of memory cells, and a comparator component including a plurality of comparators connected to respective pairs of read bitlines (RBLs). Each of the plurality of comparators is configured to read the array by comparing signals of its corresponding pair of RBLs, and generate an output based on a comparison. The outputs are assembled to generate a bit stream corresponding to a random number.
