Abstract
A programmable time-intervals generator comprising first and second digital counters, a memory, a digital divider and a digital adder. On the occurrence of a first event, the first counter starts counting, and on the occurrence of a second event, only the most significant bits of the number counted up to then are stored, thereby providing a division by truncation. From the stored number, at least two discrete fractions are obtained by the divider, whereafter said fractions are summed at the adder which operates on strings of bits. The second counter counts down the sum number and, on becoming cleared, generates a signal.
