Random Number (Uniform)

Functional Description:
The Uniform Random Number generator produces a pseudo-random number with uniform distribution in the range [A,B].

Computer generated pseudo-random numbers are deterministic sequences with statistical properties that make them appear to be truly random. The sequence is typically "seeded" with a starting number. The same seed will yield the same sequence.

The operator has an enable input pin which can be optionally connected to turn off random number generation. When the generator is disabled, its output is set to zero.

User-Defined Properties:
Object Name. A string label that identifies the operator

Minimum Value. The minimum output value, A

Maximum Value. The maximum output value, B

Seed (0 - use clock). The seed for the random sequence. If set to 0, the seed will be initialized according to the internal clock state. Using the clock to seed the random number generator, will generally yield a different random number sequence.

Display Enable Input. This property determines if the enable input pin is visible in the schema diagram. Design Pad issues a warning upon processing the schema when the pin is visible but not connected. The warning message is not issued when the pin is not visible (when this property is not checked).

Comments: None.
