Abstract

A method for generating multiple arbitrarily shifted pseudorandom bit streams from a single linear feedback shift register (LFSR) is presented. Each bit stream is obtained by tapping the outputs of selected LFSR cells and feeding these tapped cell outputs through a set of exclusive-OR gates. This enables many neurons to share a single LFSR, resulting in an acceptably small overhead for VLSI implementation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
