Abstract
A control processor has an output pattern generating circuit operating in cooperation with a free running timer, and a virtual OCR program for virtually realizing a large number of timer outputs by use of the output pattern generating circuit. Because more timer outputs than the actually incorporated timers are handled, the function of timer outputs is implemented with a higher degree of freedom and in a wider range of applications. For its enhanced function and availability, the control processor costs less.
