ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a uniform duty cycle output from a random bit source. The method includes testing the duty cycle of said random bit source; varying the output voltage of a voltage source if the duty cycle is not substantially fifty percent; and iteratively altering the output voltage of the voltage source until said duty cycle is substantially fifty percent.
