Honored ContributorI want to implement an LFSR as a means of generating random numbers but I'm not sure whether to use an LPM or just code it in a process. I would be interested to hear how you choose to implement them and if possible, why? I considered using either LPM_SHIFTREG or altshift_taps but I'm not sure how suitable they are. Many thanks
Honored ContributorThanks to all. I had made a stupid mistake, I had 'clock' in my process but I was actually using a different (reduced) clock in my simulation. Once I corrected that it worked perfectly. I have read up quite a lot on LFSRs so it was really bugging me!:rolleyes: Thanks again. This forum is invaluable.
Honored ContributorApologies for some confusion I caused about the two forms of lfsr. There are two equivalent types(Fibonacci and Galois). I was thinking only of Fibonacci type with taps feeding back onto first stage.
