Abstract:
A control unit (10) for a terminal of a digital, cordless telecommunication system for delivering control signals to further units of the terminal, includinga control signal register array (40, 50, 60) that can be loaded by a microcontroller (3) with different events that are composed of control signals, one event from among said events being selected each time as the current event, an instant register array (41, 51, 61) that can be loaded with different instants by the microcontroller (3) and is suitable to present each time the instant associated with the current event as the current instant, a timer (43, 53, 63) for setting a time corresponding to a local clock or a clock extracted from data received, a comparator (42, 52, 62) for comparing the time presented by the timer (43, 53, 63) with the current instant presented by the instant register array (41, 51, 61), and an output register (44, 54, 64) which is controlled by the comparator (42, 52, 62), is connected to control leads, and in which the current event can be written upon correspondence, detected by the comparator (42, 52, 62), between the time set by the timer (43, 53, 630 and the current instant, which output register is suitable to output the stored control signals, via the control leads, as control signals for the further units, wherein the control unit includes at least two sub-sections, each of which includes a respective control signal register array (40, 50, 60), a timer (43, 53, 63), an instant register array (41, 51, 61), a comparator (42, 52, 62), and an output register (44, 54, 64), it being possible to divide the control signals to be output between at least two events, each time one of which can be processed by one of the sub-sections.
