20.3.4 RNG initialization
The RNG simplified state machine is pictured on
After enabling the RNG (RNGEN = 1 in RNG_CR) the following chain of events occurs:
1. The analog noise source is enabled, and by default the RNG waits 16 cycles of RNG
clock cycles (before divider) before starting to sample analog output and filling 128-bit
conditioning shift register.
2. The conditioning hardware initializes, automatically triggering start-up behavior test on
the raw data samples and known-answer tests.
3. When start-up health tests are completed. During this time three 128-bit noise source
samples are used.
4. The conditioning stage internal input data buffer is filled again with 128-bit and a
number of conditioning rounds defined by the RNG configuration (NIST or non-NIST) is
performed. The output buffer is then filled with the post processing result.
5. The output buffer is refilled automatically according to the RNG usage.
