Re: Real Random Generator
Hello vaf20,
If the LFSR is long enough that its period is much longer than the “memory” (ability to “remember the past”) of your system, it will be “seen” as a true random generator.
Take into account that if you need random numbers of N bits, no less than N clocks are needed between successive samples in order that they look independent if just a simple LFSR is used.
You can combine two or more LFSR of different lengths (e.g. EXORing their outputs), increasing the period.
Generators based in LFSR have good statistical properties and are very simple.
