Abstract
A scrambling/descrambling circuit that may be manufactured as a CMOS arrangement in LSI format and free of constraints on the degree of the generating polynomial involved. Scrambled (or descrambled) "m" bits of data output by registers are multiplied by multiplication circuits by a factor of the generating element .alpha..sup.m of the generating polynomial. The multiplied data are input back to the registers. The scrambled "m" bits of data are supplied to "m" exclusive-OR gates for exclusive-OR operation with input data.
