Week 5: Shift registers, LFSRs and random numbers
This week we will discuss efficient shift registers (also refer to the Xilinx Applications note XAPP052 "Efficient Shift Registers, LFSR Counters and Long Pseudo-Random Number Generators" and Xilinx Applications note XAPP210 "LFSRs in Virtex devices"). You may also want to use the following programs which can find primitive polynomials of arbitrary degree: a Web based program and/or the ppsearch program, a C program with source code which supports large polynomials.Posted by phwl at January 31, 2005 07:02 AM
