The study of the length of pseudo-random binary sequences generated by Linear- Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) plays an important role in the design approaches of built-in selftest, cryptosystems, and other applications. However, certain LFSR structures might not be appropriate in some situations. Given that determini …

This paper presents a realistic test approach suitable to Design For Testability (DFT) and Built- In Self Test (BIST) environments. The approach is culminated in the form of a test simulator which is capable of providing a required goal of test for the System Under Test (SUT). The simulator uses the approach of fault d …

The purpose of this paper is to present a new and faster algorithmic procedure for generating the n bi Gray codes. Thereby, through this paper we have presented the derivation, design and implementation of a newly developed algorithm for the generation of an n-bit binary reflected Gray code sequences. The developed alg …

Based on an analytical study of the theory of m-sequences, a tool is developed to facilitate practicing engineers to either generate m-sequence for its application, or to test applied m-sequence, or both. The developed test–kit simulates all the properties of m-sequences including number of 1s and 0s, the run lengths, …
