This paper proposes a novel circuit design and implementation approach of generating multi-scroll chaotic attractors from high-order Jerk systems. According to high-order Jerk equations, multi-scroll high-order general Jerk circuits are designed by constructing a sequence of step functions with parameter control. The prominent feature for this kind of circuit design method is self-unified and in a sense universal. Based on the uniform circuit, both forth-order and fifth-order general Jerk circuits can be realized with the switching control. The switch set is also used to control the number of scrolls. Finally, the computer simulations and hardware implementations are given to generate multi-scroll chaotic attractors on the forth-order and fifth-order general Jerk circuits.
