How can I generate random numbers using combo/sequential logic?

Random No. generator

There are some standards for testing RNG, such as FIPS 140-1.

PaulHolland, there's no need to be rude.

You and I are saying basically the same things with different words. That paper says "we are considering shifts as different sequence". I say "same sequence with different starting point". Same thing.

I pointed out the zero problem, twice.

Of course the polynomial is important, hence my link to the Xilinx app note.

I do see one error in my earlier messages. Instead of saying "LFSR", I should have said "maximum-length LFSR". If that caused anyone trouble, I apologize. I believe the rest of my statements are accurate.

Hi echo47,

Did not wanted to sound rude, sorry I apologize if I did. Better give references next time !

USE LFSR.
