## Abstract

In this study, we demonstrate the generation and storage of random voltage values using a ring oscillator consisting of feedback field-effect transistors (FBFETs). This innovative approach utilizes the logic-in-memory function of FBFETs to extract continuous output voltages from oscillatory cycles. The ring oscillator exhibited uniform probability distributions of 51.6% for logic 0 and 48.4% for logic 1. The generation of analog voltages provides binary random variables that are stored for over 5000 s. This demonstrates the potential of the ring oscillator in advanced physical functions and true random number generator technologies.
