Abstract:
An electronic apparatus comprising:a timing unit providing a timing count signal within the apparatus; a control unit coupled to the timing unit; a memory coupled to the control unit and timing unit for receiving a series of instructions I(i) from the control unit, the instructions I(i) comprising operand instructions O(i) for controlling operations of the apparatus and time of execution T(i) specifying when each O(i) is to be executed, where i is an index having values 0 to N; and wherein, the timing unit compares between its timing count signal and a time of execution T(n) and if its timing count signal is bigger than the time of execution T(n), it executes instruction I(n) immediately, else, it executes instruction I(n) a time specified by time of execution T(n), where n is one of the index values i.
