#124106 - Noise diode circuit?
Hello!

Can someone explain such a circuit to me? Donald E. Knuth mentions it in The Art Of Computer Programming in his introduction to the chapter of random numbers.
I'm interested how such circuit should work. I assume it is meant to output random bits but based on what?

Thanks for any input!
Matthias
