ABSTRACT:
A pseudorandom number sequence generator comprises a bidirectional shift register arranged to be loaded with a multi-bit sequence. The shift register is responsive to an ith clock pulse and an ith direction control bit for shifting the multi-bit sequence in one of two directions, delivering an ith output bit and receiving an ith input bit. The multi-bit sequence successively defines one of nodes of an Eulerian graph connected by branches. A feedback circuit is connected to the shift register for converting a set of input data to a set of output data. The input data comprises a multi-bit sequence stored in the shift register in response to an (i+1)th clock pulse, the ith output bit and the ith direction control bit and the output data comprises an (i+1)th input bit and an (i+1)th direction control bit. The output data is supplied to the shift register so that multi-bit sequences produced by the shift register move around the graph following every branch exactly once, and outputting the (i+1)th input bit to form a pseudorandom number sequence.
