Claim 0:
1. A process of generating a clock output, comprising:
determining, by a time base generator, a clock period as a function of a sum of a constant current and a first value of a variable current;
setting a frequency of a clock to a reciprocal of the clock period;
setting, by a linear feedback shift register (LFSR), a calculated control value, wherein the LFSR is configured to generate a maximum length sequence of pseudo-random values that do not repeat until all permitted values have been produced;
controlling, by the clock, when the LFSR shifts and outputs the calculated control value; and
selecting a second value for the variable current as a function of the calculated control value.
