Abstract
A pseudo random pulse generator that creates a series of pulses having randomly separated intervals is described. A pseudo random pulse generator has a pseudo random number generator create a series of pseudo random binary numbers. An enable input initiates creating the series of pseudo random binary numbers and a clock input is connected to a clock signal that synchronizes creating the series of pseudo random binary numbers. A hold input prevents the generation of the pseudo random binary numbers. The pseudo random pulse generator has an interval selector to select one of a plurality of timing signals. Each timing signal is a power of two frequency division of the clock. The interval selector has select signal terminals to select one of the plurality of timing signals, and a trigger output to hold a selected timing signal. The pseudo random pulse generator further has a select buffer connected to a low order digits of the pseudo random number generator. The select buffer will transfer the low order digits to the select signal terminals of the interval selector. The low order digits of the pseudo random number selects one of the plurality of timing signals. A first pulse generator …
