Abstract
An apparatus for generating a binary numerical sequence is provided. The apparatus is configured to apply a first write voltage or a second write voltage, different from the first write voltage, as a write voltage to each of two or more switchable elements, and/or to apply a first read voltage or a second read voltage, different from the first read voltage, as a read voltage to each of the two or more switchable elements. Each switchable element of the two or more switchable elements is configured to output, in dependence on the write voltage applied to the switchable element and/or in dependence on the read voltage applied to the switchable element, an output voltage with a first random or pseudo-random voltage value from a first voltage value range or with a second random or pseudo-random voltage value from a second voltage value range.
