Abstract

In the stochastic structure for doing exact calculationk, an input number must be changed to a pulse stream. Because the performance of random number generator (RNG) is controlled by its initial condition, we suggested newly modified cellular automata (MCA) which is uses a counter for boundary condition. We compared newly suggested MCA RNG to previously reported RNGs using the AND gate passing outputs which have the same meaning of multiplication in the stochastic calculation. In order to use stochastic we studied about the method, one large RNG can generate many small random numbers. In this method, RNG must have large drive capabilities for many input comparator. So we studied about drive capabilities using BiCMOS circuit and CMOS circit by SPICE.
