ABSTRACT:
A high precision weighted random pattern generation system generates any desired probability of individual bits within a weighted random bit pattern. The system includes a circular memory having a series of weighting factors stored therein, with each weighting factor representing the desired probability of a bit in the weighted random pattern being binary ONE. The random bits from a random number generator and a weighting factor are combined to form a single weighted random bit. The random bits and weighting factor are combined in a series of interconnected multiplexor gates. Each multiplexor gate has two data inputs, one being a bit from the weighting factor, the other being the output of the preceding multiplexor gate. The random number bit controls the output of the multiplexor. For example, when the control input (random bit) is high, the multiplexor output is the weighting factor bit. When the control input (random bit) is low, the multiplexor output is the output of the preceding multiplexor. The output of the final multiplexor gate in the series is the weighted bit.
