Alternate Tap Positions
Here are some selected alternate tap positions which can be used with
cascaded 8-bit shift registers
used in the fibonacci configuration to obtain a maximal length sequence. These
are suitable for shift register IC's where outputs of registers
6, 7, and 8 of each circuit are available. Cases with 2 and with 4 taps are shown.
(This list is not complete.)
