  • Dynamic pseudo-random bit sequence generator and methods therefor
    Patent number: 11586419
    Abstract: A processing system includes a pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) control unit and a PRBS generator that is used to dynamically generate a PRBS from, for example, a first PRBS and a second PRBS. The PRBS generator is coupled to the PRBS control unit. The PRBS generator generates the second PRBS by dynamically adjusting from a first set of flip-flops of a master set of flip-flops that generate the first PRBS to a second set of flip-flops of the first master set of flip-flops that generate the second PRBS. The PRBS generator includes a plurality of PRBS logic engines coupled to a first PRBS multiplexer, the first PRBS multiplexer being used to select either the first PRBS or the second PRBS that is output by the PRBS generator.
