FPGA Implementation of Uniform Random Number based on Residue Method
Abstract: This paper presents
the implementation and comparisons of uniform random number on Field
Programable Gate Array (FPGA). Uniform random numbers are generated based on
residue method. The circuit of generating uniform random number is presented in
general view. The circuit is constructed from a multiplexer, a multiplier, buffers
and some basic gates. FPGA implementation of the designed circuit has been done
into various Xilinx chips. Simulation results are viewed clearly in the paper.
Random numbers are generated based on different parameters. Comparisons upon
occupied area and maximum frequency from different Xilinx chip are examined.
Virtex 7 is the fastest chip and Virtex 4 is the best choice in terms of occupied
area. Finally, Uniform random numbers have been generated successfully on FPGA
using residue method.
