Abstract

A data scrambler circuit which adds the SONET polynomial 1+X.sup.6 +X.sup.7 to data in a parallel format to thereby reduce circuitry clock rates to one-eighth the line rate, which reduces power consumption and simplifies timing constraints. A circuit embodiment includes a first series of flip-flops connected to generate the polynomial and a second series of flip-flops for holding the generated polynomial. The parallel data is added to the held polynomial by a series of exclusive OR gates.
