Abstract

Linear feedback shift registers have been proposed to generate test patterns for the self-test of logic networks. The probability of linear dependence among k bit positions of a subset of k bits in a maximum length shift register sequence is an outstanding problem. In this correspondence, we derive a formula for the calculation of the probability.
