... So, I'm going to modify it a bit to use the resistors available on my chip and reduce the caps, fix the supply sensitivity, and I think I can run 16 of these things in parallel at 100-200MHz on the tiny .35u CMOS chip I'm designing. I'll spit out the raw waveforms from the inverters, buffered once, through 16 "analog" pins, so there wont be any fear (hopefully) that I'm cooking the data on-chip, before you can see it, and I'll open-source the schematics. If there's a circuit that can consume all 1.6Gbit/sec of this raw data, have fun with it!

raw samples at 1.6Gb/s would be useful infrequently[0]; raw samples from a trusted device extremely useful at any bitrate! what is "my chip" and how can we find out more / support your efforts? best regards, 0. to date i have only maxed out 400Mb/s raw VIA Padlock sources for SSD FDE initialization and constructed experiments in temporal key rolling. it is however common to regularly consume on the order of 10Mb/s on a busy server, generating many keys, using crypto happy software, etc. (this is why every processor, every embedded device should have a physical entropy source, with access to raw samples. still waiting...)
