[sdiy] LFSR digital noise source

[Ben Stuyts]

That link points to the mil-spec version which is $15 each at 100 pcs. :-D

If you can’t find a shift register that is long enough for your needs, you can simply cascade shorter shift registers. The only disadvantage of a discrete logic design is size. You can certainly tweak the taps if you have the shift registers and XOR gates as separate components.

Seems like you should be able to cobble together a complex shift register like that out of other still-available chips, but i'm not savvy enough on digital logic to do it myself.
