We need a pseudo-random clock with a length N
, in such a way that out of every N
clock pulses, M
of them should randomly made zero (M<
N
sample points (from Nyquist grid) we need to take M
samples. Then through some processing and assumptions about signal structure, other un-sampled (N-M
samples) points are recovered. Now I am using Linear Shift Registers, something like below:
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
It works good, however, I do not want equal distribution for 1s and 0s, I mean I want something like 20% of clock cycles to be 1 and 80% to be zero. To achieve that, I made to AND
output of two circuits like above to change probability from 50% for both 1s and zeros to 25% for 1s and 75% for zeros (in figure below, with different seeds).
It is good at the cost of doubling the power and chip area:( . I am seeking a way to make the system work with only 1 random clock generator circuit, not two.
- Is possible through implanting some special initial seed change probability distribution of 1s and 0s in output sequence ?
- Is there any power-area efficient method to accomplish this?
I was thinking to store a random binary sequence (with length of N
) in a ROM and then And
its output with the clock to make a random clock.
Answer
Think of the contents of the N-bit LFSR as an N-bit integer. This number will have a uniform distribution of values from 1 to 2N - 1. You can generate a variable density of mask bits by comparing this number to a threshold that you also vary from 1 to 2N - 1. The output of this comparator is the clock mask you seek.
