Abstract: Systems, methods and circuits for implementing a self test in a slowly varying sensor. In one particular case, a circuit is provided that includes two filters operating in parallel. One of the filters is tailored for filtering normal operational signals, and operates at a first oversampling rate. The other filter is tailored for filtering test signals, and operates at a second oversampling rate. The second oversampling rate is generally less than the first oversampling rate. In various cases, the filter tailored for filtering normal operational signals may be programmed for operation across a plurality of oversampling rates.

Abstract: Systems, methods and circuits for generating random numbers. As one example, a system for generating random numbers is disclosed that includes an analog to digital conversion element that provides an output, and a digital filter that is electrically coupled to the analog to digital conversion element and provides an information signal based at least in part on the output. In addition, the system includes a memory device electrically coupled to a sequencer that generates a capture signal. The memory is operable to capture the information signal based at least in part on the capture signal.
