We study the problem of constructing De Bruijn sequences by joining cycles of linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) with reducible characteristic polynomials. The main difficulty for joining cycles is to find the location of conjugate pairs between cycles, and the distribution of conjugate pairs in cycles is defined to be adjacency graphs. Let <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$l(x)$ </tex-math></inline-formula> be a characteristic polynomial, and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$l(x)=l_{1}(x)l_{2}(x)\cdots l_{r}(x)$ </tex-math></inline-formula> be a decomposition of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$l(x)$ </tex-math></inline-formula> into pairwise co-prime factors. First, we show a connection between the adjacency graph of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathrm {FSR}(l(x))$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and the association graphs of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathrm {FSR}(l_{i}(x))$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1\leq i\leq r$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. By this connection, the problem of determining the adjacency graph of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathrm {FSR}(l(x))$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is decomposed to the problem of determining the association graphs of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathrm {FSR}(l_{i}(x))$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1\leq i\leq r$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, which is much easier to handle. Then, we study the association graphs of LFSRs with irreducible characteristic polynomials and give a relationship between these association graphs and the cyclotomic numbers over finite fields. At last, as an application of these results, we explicitly determine the adjacency graphs of some LFSRs and show that our results cover the previous ones.
