2. A circuit for generating a bit flow based on a noise source and on at least one first element for normalizing the initial bit flow provided by this noise source, comprising:
-
at least one second normalization element of the same noise source, of a different flow rate than the first element; and
an element for calculating the difference between the respective flow rates of the two normalization elements. - View Dependent Claims (3)
