Abstract

In order to reduce the current supply and thus the heating up of relevant components during the processing of binary signals of any desired pulse duration or width, the pulses forming the binary or first signal are converted into a pulsed or second signal which forms a pulse sequence or train consisting of short pulses having different polarities. The individual pulses of the binary signal are converted to short pulses having a first spacing in the pulsed or second signal. The transitions between the pulses of the binary or first signal are converted to pulses having any desired shortened second spacing as compared to the first spacing.
