We propose a true random number generator (TRNG) based on adiabatic quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP) logic. This AQFP TRNG corresponds to an AQFP buffer chain with the input current removed, which enables the generation of random bits via thermal fluctuation. To realize ultralow autocorrelation, sever...
