Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for generating pseudo-random numbers. A programmably selectable MASK value determines the polynomial to be used to generate the pseudo-random numbers. The MASK value can be changed while pseudo-random numbers are being generated in order to increase the run rate and improve the randomness of the sequence of pseudo-random numbers being generated. A programmably selectable SEED value is also used. The initial SEED value is used to generate the first pseudo-random number. The first pseudo-random number is then used as the NEW SEED value to generate the second pseudo-random number, and so on.
