Hi

A good introduction to PRN's is given in "Horowitz and Hill - The Art
of Electronics" page 655 in the second edition ISBN: 0-521-37095-7

I wrote a 24 bit PRN sequence for a 12C508. Unfortunately I couldn't
get the noise bandwidth I required at 4MHz clock rate. Does anyone
know of a comparable chip that will run at 20MHz. The chip dosn't
have to do anything else, so even a dedicated noise chip would
suffice but it would be nice to have a software solution for future
use.

A conclusion is simply the point where you got tired of thinking.
