It would be less than random because 0000 is still less likely. Better to use a fast counter and latch it before the 154.
Because it's not physical maybe you'd have to jiggle the fast clock with a large resistor to one of the bits, if Spice would have a tendency to make one clock an exact multiple of the other.

OK, you don't want to just use the last N bits of the LFSR, as they will shift over VERY predictably. So, if you want to use N bits, you need to allow the LFSR to advance N clocks and then latch the N parallel bits for use.

Geez, gotta figure out why my newsreader (knode) does that! Never noticed it before!
Jon
On the phone app it wasn't so obvious. I don't use it much but it was updated a month ago so I don't know why this thread was near the top.
I figured it was deliberate. Maybe you're not an idiot then, perhaps just a dolt.
Hmmm, it seems that knode does this for messages that were posted to more than one newsgroup. It takes a couple clicks to have it select one of the newsgroups. I'll have to watch out for that in the future, thanks!
