Abstract
A stochastic pulse generator (1) of this invention includes a variable signal generator (61) operative to generate a variable signal (VC) which varies randomly, and a comparator (3) operative to output a binary signal (Vout) of High or Low depending on which of one input signal and another input signal is larger or smaller than the other, wherein when the variable signal (VC) is inputted, as the one input signal, to the comparator (3) from the variable signal generator (61), the comparator (3) stochastically outputs pulses, the number of which corresponds to a magnitude of the another input signal.
