For a simulation situation I need a random number generator with a

What I need to simulate is a "random" selection of one-of-16 outputs.
Clock "speed" is 12.5kHz ;-)
Built of 74HCxx parts is preferred... I have a full ensemble of those
device in my PSpice library.
Thanks in advance.

If you use something like an HC154 with an LFSR driving its address
inputs to generate random one-hots on its outputs, will that work
for you?
John,
What are you saying... take the outputs of the LFSR broadside to drive
the address lines of the 'HC154?
I think that would do it.
Thanks also to Lasse for the same suggestion.

I was puzzling over how to get 0000, but then it dawned... just use an
8-bit LFSR and use the last 4-bits.
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.
Did you notice you're replying to a YEAR OLD post ?:-)
