Abstract
This study aims to exploit the resistance states of Cr/ZnO/TiN
memristors to generate random numbers. A random number generator (RNG)
circuit employing a single memristor is proposed. We suggest that
current compliance (CC) is a significant parameter in determining the
quality of randomness; it is found that low CCs (20-50 μA) have a wide
resistance state distribution that facilitates random bits. This work
provides insight into the implementation of memristors for data security
applications.
