Abstract

A parallel architecture for implementing a digital sequence generator is provided, which contains taps connected to selected fixed memory cells and the taps of the logic circuitry are switched among the cells. The architecture disclosed and claimed herein generates an identical sequence while consuming substantially less power than a linear feedback shift register implementation. The parallel architecture may also be used to implement a parallel shift register in other applications.
