Abstract
A circuit for producing output signals which indicate a fraction of a series of input signals including apparatus for furnishing a first value equivalent to the value of a numerator of the fraction, apparatus for furnishing a second value equivalent to the value of the difference between a numerator of the fraction and a denominator of the fraction, apparatus for sequentially subtracting the second value from the first value with each input signal of the series until a result of zero or less is produced, apparatus for sequentially adding the first value to the result with each input signal of the series until a result of greater than zero is produced, and apparatus for utilizing the value of the result to indicate whether each signal of the series of input signals is to be utilized.
