General Description
The Pseudo Random Sequence (PRS) component uses an LFSR to generate a pseudo random
sequence, which outputs a pseudo random bit stream. The LFSR is of the Galois form
(sometimes known as the modular form) and uses the provided maximal code length, or period.
The PRS component runs continuously after starting as long as the Enable Input is held high.
The PRS number generator can be started with any valid seed value other than 0.
When to Use a PRS
LFSRs can be implemented in hardware. This makes them useful in applications that require
very fast generation of a pseudo random sequence, such as a direct-sequence spread-spectrum
radio.
Global positioning systems use an LFSR to rapidly transmit a sequence that indicates highprecision relative time offsets. Some video game consoles also use an LFSR as part of the
sound system.
Used as a Counter
The repeating sequence of states of an LFSR allows it to be used as a divider, or as a counter
when a nonbinary sequence is acceptable. LFSR counters have simpler feedback logic than

natural binary counters or Gray code counters, and can therefore operate at higher clock rates.
However, you must make sure that the LFSR never enters an all-zeros state, for example by
presetting it at startup to any other state in the sequence.
Input/Output Connections
This section describes the various input and output connections for the PRS Component. An
asterisk (*) in the list of I/Os states that the I/O may be hidden on the symbol under the
conditions listed in the description of that I/O.
clock – Input *
The clock input defines the signal to compute the PRS. This input is not available when you
choose the API Single Step Run Mode.
reset – Input *
The reset input defines the signal to synchronous reset the PRS. This input is available when
you choose clocked mode. You can only reset the PRS if the Enable input is held high.
enable – Input
The PRS component runs after starting and as long as the Enable input is held high. This input
provides synchronized operation with other components.
bitstream – Output
Output of the LFSR.

Component Parameters
Drag a PRS component onto your design and double-click it to open the Configure dialog. This
dialog has several tabs to guide you through the process of setting up the PRS component.
General Tab
Resolution
This defines the PRS sequence length. This value can be set from 2 to 64. The default is 8.
By default, Resolution defines LFSR coefficients and Polynomial Value. Coefficients are taken
from the following table. This parameter also defines the maximal code length, or period, as
shown in the following table.

Pseudo Random Sequence (PRS)
The Seed value, by default, is set to the maximum possible value (2Resolution – 1). Its value can be
changed to any other except 0. The Seed value is shown in hexadecimal form.
Note Changing the Resolution resets Seed Value to the default value.
Run Mode
This parameter defines the component operation mode as continuous or single-step run. You
can choose Clocked (default) or API Single Step. If PRS values read continuously or you need
one value read, you must stop the clock or set enable to low in Clocked mode.
Advanced Tab
The PRS Advanced tab contains the following settings:
Implementation
This defines implementation of PRS component: with time multiplexing or without it (Single
Cycle). The default is Single Cycle.
Low Power Mode Operation
This defines PRS behavior after low-power mode. The default is Restore on Power Up.

Local Parameters (For API use)
These parameters are used in the API and are not exposed in the GUI:




PolyValueLower(uint32) – Contains the lower half of the polynomial value in hexadecimal
format. The default is 0xB8h (LFSR= [8,6,5,4]) because the default resolution is 8.
PolyValueUpper(uint32) – Contains the upper half of the polynomial value in hexadecimal
format. The default is 0x00h because the default resolution is 8.
SeedValueLower (uint32) – Contains the lower half of the seed value in hexadecimal
format. The default is 0xFFh because the default resolution is 8.
SeedValueUpper (uint32) – Contains the upper half of the seed value in hexadecimal
format. The default is 0 because the default resolution is 8.
Clock Selection
You must attach a clock source if you select the Clocked option for the Run Mode parameter.
Note Generation of the proper PRS sequence for a resolution of greater than 8 requires a clock
signal four times greater than the data rate, if you select Time Division Multiplex for the
Implementation parameter.
Placement
The PRS is placed throughout the UDB array and all placement information is provided to the
API through the cyfitter.h file.

Application Programming Interface
Application Programming Interface (API) routines allow you to configure the component using
software. The following table lists and describes the interface to each function. The subsequent
sections cover each function in more detail.
By default, PSoC Creator assigns the instance name “PRS_1” to the first instance of a
component in a given design. You can rename the instance to any unique value that follows the
syntactic rules for identifiers. The instance name becomes the prefix of every global function
name, variable, and constant symbol. For readability, the instance name used in the following
table is “PRS.”

How to Use STA Results for Characteristics Data
Nominal route maximums are gathered through multiple test passes with Static Timing Analysis
(STA). You can calculate the maximums for your designs with the STA results using the
following methods:
fCLOCK Maximum component clock frequency appears in the Timing results in the clock summary
as the named external clock. The graphic below shows an example of the clock limitations
from the _timing.html:
Input Path Delay and Pulse Width
When characterizing the functionality of inputs, all inputs, no matter how you have configured
them, look like one of four possible configurations, as shown in Figure 1.
All inputs must be synchronized. The synchronization mechanism depends on the source of the
input to the component. To interpret how your system will work you must understand which input
configuration you have set up for each input and the clock configuration of your system. This
section describes how to use the Static Timing Analysis (STA) results to determine the
characteristics of your system.

1. The input is driven by a device pin and synchronized internally with a “sync” component. This
component is clocked using a different internal clock than the clock the component uses (all
internal clocks are derived from master_clock).
When characterizing inputs configured in this way, clockX may be faster than, equal to, or
slower than the component clock. It may also be equal to master_clock. This produces the
characterization parameters shown in Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 5, and Figure 6.
2. The input is driven by a device pin and synchronized at the pin using master_clock.
When characterizing inputs configured in this way, master_clock is faster than or equal to the
component clock (it is never slower than). This produces the characterization parameters
shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6.

3. The input is driven by logic internal to the PSoC, which is synchronous based on a clock
other than the clock the component uses (all internal clocks are derived from master_clock).
When characterizing inputs configured in this way, the synchronizer clock is faster than,
slower than, or equal to the component clock. This produces the characterization parameters
shown in Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 10.
4. The input is driven by logic internal to the PSoC, which is synchronous based on the same

Figure 7. Input Configuration 3 only; Sync. Clock Frequency = Component Clock
Frequency (Edge alignment of clock and clockX is not guaranteed)
This figure represents the information that Static Timing Analysis has about the clocks. All clocks
in the digital clock domain are synchronous to master_clock. However, two clocks with the same
frequency may not be rising-edge-aligned. Therefore, the Static Timing Analysis tool does not
know which edge the clocks are synchronous to and must assume the minimum of one
master_clock cycle. This means that tPD_si now has a limiting effect on the system master_clock.
master_clock setup time violations appear if this path delay is too long. You must change the
synchronization clocks of your system or run master_clock at a slower frequency.

Figure 11. Input Configuration 4 only; Synchronizer Clock = Component Clock
In all previous figures in this section, the most critical parameters to use when understanding
your implementation are fCLOCK and tPD_IE. tPD_IE is defined by tPD_ps and tSYNC (for configurations 1
and 2 only), tPD_si, and tI_Clk. It is critical to note that tPD_si defines the maximum component clock
frequency. tI_Clk does not come from the STA results but is used to represent when tPD_IE is
registered. This is the margin left over after the route between the synchronizer and the
component clock.
tPD_ps and tPD_si are included in the STA results.
To find tPD_ps, look at the input setup times defined in the _timing.html file. The fanout of this input
may be more than 1, so you will need to evaluate the maximum of these paths.
tPD_si is defined in the Register-to-register times. You need to know the name of the net to use
the _timing.html file. The fanout of this path may be more than 1, so you will need to evaluate
the maximum of these paths.

Output Path Delays
When characterizing the path delays of outputs, you must consider where the output is going in
order to know where you can find the data in the STA results. For this component, all outputs are
synchronized to the component clock. Outputs fall into one of two categories. The output goes
either to another component inside the device, or to a pin to the outside the device. In the first
case, you must look at the Register-to-register times shown for the Logic-to-input descriptions
(the source clock is the component clock). For the second case, you can look at the Clock-tooutput times in the _timing.html STA results.
Component Changes
This section lists the major changes in the component from the previous version.

New requirements to support the PSoC 3
Production device, thus a new 2.0 version of the
PRS component was created.
Added PRS_Sleep()/PRS_Wakeup() and
PRS_Init()/PRS_Enable() APIs.
To support low-power modes, as well as to
provide common interfaces to separate control of
initialization and enabling of most components.
Updated functions PRS_WriteSeed() and

Pseudo Random Sequence (PRS)
Version
Description of Changes
PSoC® Creator™ Component Datasheet
Reason for Changes / Impact
Add reset DFF triggers to polynomial write
functions: PRS_WritePolynomial(),
PRS_WritePolynomialUpper() and
PRS_WritePolynomialLower().
The DFF triggers must be set in proper state
(most significant bit of polynomial, always 1)
before starts calculation. To meet this condition
any write to Seed or Polynomial register resets the
DFF triggers.
Updated Configure dialog to allow the Expression
View for some parameters.
Expression View is used to directly access the
symbol parameters. This view allows you to
connect component parameters with external
parameters, if desired.
Updated Configure dialog to add error icons for
various parameters.
If you enter an incorrect value in a text box, the
error icon displays with a tool tip of the problem
description. This provides easier use than a
separate error message.
