Microprocessor without timer for providing time base signals.

摘要

Microprocessor without timer, driven by a clock of specified period, and designed to execute application instructions (6), each one of a specified number of clock periods (8), under the control of software (20) for executing a specified and maximum number of instructions and defined so as to loop back on itself and thus to run continuously during software periods, the microprocessor comprising means (3, 13) for counting the software periods so as to deliver time base signals (14). Application to the control of time displays.
