Claim:
1. A random number generating device comprising: an arithmetic random number generator that generates an arithmetic random number sequence; an arithmetic random number converter that sequentially reads at least one arithmetic random number from the arithmetic random number sequence and converts a value of the read arithmetic random number into a voltage or current value of at least two predetermined levels of gray scale having an identical polarity; a hysteresis unit that outputs values depending on a presently-input voltage or current value and a previously-input voltage or current value with respect to the sequentially-input voltage or current value; and a threshold processor that binarizes the output of the hysteresis unit, wherein the arithmetic random number converter alternately outputs a positive value and a negative value using the voltage or current that is converted based on the arithmetic random number, and outputs the voltage or current value of the at least two levels of gray scale converted according to the value of the arithmetic random number as at least one of the positive value and the negative value.
