MM5837?

[Harry Bissell]

Actually... EVERY BBD is used as a noise source....    >;^)

seriously....  BBD would probably nnot make a really good noise source, the
clock
noise would give a really strong peak.

The 741, contrary to commonly held belief... is not a very good noise source
either.

Best bets are still zener diode or avalanched semiconductor junction... or
the digital pseudorandom generators.
