Data generator having linear feedback shift registers for generating data pattern in forward and reverse orders

摘要

Some embodiments of the invention includes a data generator. The data generator includes a data generating circuit having a combination of linear feedback shift registers and shift registers for generating a pseudo-random data pattern in a first order. The data generator also includes a recovery circuit for allowing the data generating circuit to generate the pseudo-random data pattern in a second order. The second order is a reverse of the first order. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
