    Abstract: A random number generator system that utilizes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) that is controlled by an STT-MTJ entropy controller that determines whether to proceed with generating random numbers or not by monitoring the health of the MTJ-based random number generator is illustrated. If the health of the random number generation is above a threshold, the STT-MTJ entropy controller shuts down the MTJ-based random number generator and sends a message to a requesting chipset that a secure key generation is not possible. If the health of the random number generation is below a threshold, the entropy controller allows the MTJ-based random number generator to generate random numbers based on a specified algorithm, the output of which is post processed and used by a cryptographic-quality deterministic random bit generator to generate a security key for a requesting chipset.

    Abstract: A memory cell comprises a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure that includes a free layer coupled to a bit line and a pinned layer. A magnetic moment of the free layer is substantially parallel to a magnetic moment of the pinned layer in a first state and substantially antiparallel to the magnetic moment of the pinned layer in a second state. The pinned layer has a physical dimension to produce an offset magnetic field corresponding to a first switching current of the MTJ structure to enable switching between the first state and the second state when a first voltage is applied from the bit line to a source line coupled to an access transistor and a second switching current to enable switching between the second state and the first state when the first voltage is applied from the source line to the bit line.
