Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for facilitating random number generation with an entropy source. In an embodiment, the entropy source comprises two complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) inverters which are cross-coupled with each other between a first node and a second node. A third CMOS inverter of the entropy source includes an output terminal coupled to the first node, and an input terminal which is to receive an adjustment voltage that is based on a first signal at the first node. The first, second and third CMOS inverters are each coupled to a third node by which each is to draw power. The entropy source is to update the first signal based on the adjustment voltage. In another embodiment, the entropy source is coupled to a switched capacitor circuit which is to generate the adjustment voltage based on a feedback of the first signal.
