Random Number Generator XB

Random Number Generator (LFSR) XB

The Random Number Generator XB provies a pseudo-random 8-bit number using a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR).  This XB was originally created as a simple block to use as an example with our OpenXLR8 tutorials and webinars.  However, it is a useful piece of logic for creating pseudo-random data sequences.

The LFSR can be configured to either update in response to a user’s signal, or to update with each tick of the system clock.  In addition, the initial seed value for the LFSR can be set by the user.
