KLOCKPULSGENERATOR MED SELEKTIV PULSFORDROJNINGS- OCH PULSBREDDSSTYRNING

摘要

Clock generating apparatus for a computer system has selective pulse delay and pulse width control. Selection of pulse delay and pulse width is accomplished by loading registers with predetermined data patterns. The registers can be loaded under program control or by data entry units, such as a keyboard, switches, etc. The registers are located in coarse and fine pulse delay and pulse width adjustment units. These units have the same physical structure, but are functionally definable by a settable control element. A dither delay element is included in these coarse and fine adjustment units, and it is selectable to provide a small increment of delay. The coarse pulse delay and pulse width adjustment units also include pulse mode control circuitry to control operation in either normal oscillator mode or in single cycle mode.
