Abstract :
A method for generating a controlled number of pulses randomly within a specified time is presented. The number of random pulses is presettable by an external device. The theory of maximal-length pseudorandom binary sequences is used as the basis of the method. An example of such a random generator is given, and it is implemented in a single VLSI chip using 3-μm double-layer CMOS technology. This method of producing a controlled probability random generator has been proved to be simple and can be implemented in a single chip of not more than 500 gates
