    Patent number: 5347276
    Abstract: The disclosed invention is a digitally configurable sequential logic circuit which produces serial binary data patterns. The circuit is configured by specifying two non-negative integers A and B. For given values of A and B, the circuit produces a serial binary data pattern with the following properties: 1) in every consecutive (A+B) bits of the pattern, there are A ones and B zeros, 2) the ones in the pattern are maximally spread apart from one another, and 3) the zeros in the pattern are maximally spread apart from one another. The patterns so produced are useful in a variety of applications.
