| contents | As CMOS technology scales down, thermal fluctuations increasingly impact circuit behavior, posing challenges to conventional circuit design. However, the inherent stochasticity introduced by thermal noise is now being explored as a potential resource in the emerging field of probabilistic computing. This work presents a fully CMOS experimental platform that enables direct control over its intrinsic thermal fluctuations. These devices function as programmable multivariate Gaussian samplers, offering a hardware primitive for energy-efficient stochastic computing and serving as an experimental platform for studies in electronic noise and stochastic thermodynamics. |
