-- # ********************************************************************************************* #
-- # The neoTNG true-random generator uses free-running ring-oscillators to generate "phase noise" #
-- # that is used as entropy source. The ring-oscillators are based on plain inverter chains that #
-- # are decoupled using individually-enabled latches in order to prevent the synthesis from #
-- # trimming parts of the logic. Hence, the TRNG provides a platform-agnostic architecture that #
-- # can be implemented for any FPGA without requiring primitive instantiation or technology- #
-- # specific attributes or synthesis options. #
-- # #
-- # The random output from each entropy cells is synchronized and XOR-ed with the other cell's #
-- # outputs before it is and fed into a simple 2-bit "von Neumann randomness extractor" #
-- # (extracting edges). 64 de-biased bits are "combined" using a LFSR-style shift register (in #
-- # order to improve spectral distribution) to provide one final random data byte. #
