Abstract
A programmable timing unit having a number of event markers circuits that receive a master clock signal and generate an output when a predetermined time occurs. Optionally, the event marker circuit can add an interpolated delay time to provide greater resolution than the master clock circuit. The output is programmably coupled to any of a number of function circuits. Each function circuit has a trigger input for receiving the event signal and output for providing the delayed output function.
