A chaotic circuit for truly random number generation is provided. The chaotic dynamical system used in the circuit is implemented based on the charge redistribution of capacitors. The random number generator circuit is a switched network including four capacitors and eight switches that are controlled by two-phase non-overlapping clock signals. The two clocks turn on switches alternatively. The circuit further includes inverter chain and amplifier. When a first clock signal turns on, four capacitors are charged by the inverter chain and the amplifier that connected as a unity gain buffer. When a second clock signal turns on, the charges are redistributed. The voltage of output terminal of the amplifier is function of its previous status, and thus a random bit stream is generated at an output terminal of the inverter chain. A smaller core area and lower power consumption is provided since circuit is simpler and no resistor is required.
