Abstract

A method of generating a pulse input to a voltage controlled oscillator of a digital decoder. The decoder has a system time clock (STC) counter and a Pulse Control Register. The method of generating the pulse input starts from the output of the STC counter and the output of the Pulse Control Register. These two outputs are logically combined and latched.
