Program execution control device having addressability in accordance with M series pseudo-random number sequence

摘要

Instructions of a program are stored at addresses sequentially designated in accordance with an M series pseudo-random number sequence in an instruction memory in the order of program addresses. A pseudo-random number program counter has a feedback shift register for generating the same M series pseudo-random number sequence and applies an address of an instruction to be read from the instruction memory to the instruction memory based on a generated pseudo-random number, and a jump address and a select signal from an instruction decoder. As a result, instructions are read from the instruction memory and executed in the order of program addresses. The feedback shift register can be implemented as a small-scale circuit and operable at high speed.
