This set of VLSI Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “LFSR-1”.
1. Linear feedback shift register occupies more area.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: Linear feedback shift register method is more area efficient than counters and other methods and requires less combinational logic.
2. In external feedback LFSR, shift registers and feedback paths are combined using
a) OR gates
b) AND gates
c) EX-OR gates
d) NAND gates
View Answer
Explanation: In the external feedback linear feedback shift register method, the shift registers and the feedback path are linearly combined via EX-OR gates.
3. Which uses the highest operating frequency?
a) internal feedback LFSR
b) external feedback LFSR
c) both internal and external LFSR
d) counters
View Answer
Explanation: Internal feedback LFSR provides implementation with highest operating frequency for use in high performance application.
4. Which method has more uniformity?
a) internal feedback LFSR
b) external feedback LFSR
c) all of the mentioned
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: External feedback LFSR has more uniformity of the shift register and this is its main advantage.
5. The initial state in LFSR must be initialized to zero.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: The initial state in LFSR must be initialized to any state other than zero so that it goes through all possible states except all 0’s before repeating the sequence.
6. For n-bit LFSR, the longest possible sequence is given by
a) 2n
b) 2n + 1
c) 2n – 1
d) 1/2n
View Answer
Explanation: For n-bit LFSR, the longest possible sequence of patterns is given by 2n-1.
7. ______ determines the position of EX-OR gate with respect to flip-flops.
a) maximal length sequence
b) value of n
c) number of flip-flops
d) characteristic equation
View Answer
Explanation: The placement of EX-OR gates with respect to the flip-flops in LFSR is determined using the characteristic polynomial equation.
8. The zero coefficient terms determines the number of EX-OR gates to be used.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: The non-zero coefficient in the characteristic polynomial expresses the EX-OR gate in the feedback network.
9. LFSR has ______
a) EX-OR gates
b) AND gates
c) OR gates
d) EX-OR and AND gates
View Answer
Explanation: LFSR has flip-flops and EX-OR gates and counters has one EX-OR gate and AND gate per flip-flop.
10. Primitive polynomials are those
a) which has intial state zero
b) which gives maximal length sequence
c) which does not give maximal length sequence
d) which has AND gate per flip-flop
View Answer
Explanation: Primitive polynomials are those which give maximal length sequence and those which do not give maximal length sequence are called as non-primitive polynomial.
11. In LFSR, the test patterns are repeatable.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: In linear feedback shift register used to produce pseudo random patterns, the patterns are deterministically generated and are repeatable.
