Abstract

A new approach to the synthesis of a generator of pseudorandom test sequences is proposed. The new generator makes it possible to form pseudorandom sequences with different frequencies. The underlying idea of the approach consists in selecting several characters of an M-sequence in the course of a single synchronization cycle. Such a procedure makes it possible to conduct parallel testing at the working frequencies of functional modules with different speeds.
