Abstract

A method and a circuit for normalizing a noise source providing an initial bit flow, including conditioning the state of an output bit to the respective states of the bits of the initial flow examined by words of identical lengths and, upon occurrence of a word of bits of identical states, conditioning the state of the current output bit to the state of at least one previous output bit.
